Hi, after the comments for my initial licensing policy draft, I prepared an update:
- current version of the draft: https://community.kde.org/Policies/ Licensing_Policy/Draft_SPDX_v2 - diff with current policy: https://community.kde.org/index.php? title=Policies%2FLicensing_Policy%2FDraft_SPDX_v2&type=revision&diff=87200&oldid=87134 - diff with the draft from my last mail: https://community.kde.org/index.php? title=Policies%2FLicensing_Policy%2FDraft_SPDX_v2&type=revision&diff=87200&oldid=87138 The major changes are: - The license texts for LicenseRef-KDE-Accepted-GPL and LicenseRef-KDE- Accepted-LGPL now explicitly state the version 3 of the licenses as baselines for the "any later version that is accepted [...]" clause. - Added a new section for the license texts for the above two LicenseRef licenses and added links to them in the respective SPDX statements. I also added a few notes about adding license text to the repository and then pointed to the REUSE specification. - All existing license headers are now in an extra section called "License Headers (Deprecated)". Moreover, I prepared a first version of a licensing howto and added it to the guidelines/howto section into the community wiki (please feel free to update/ extend/clarify it!): - https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Licensing So, how to move forward now? My suggestion would be to keep this thread open for two more weeks. If nobody objects until then, I would then replace the existing licensing policy with this new policy text. If suggestions for smaller revisions of the policy draft come up during that time, I will incorporate them, of course. Cheers, Andreas
