Hi Ate,
Just want to check that the NOTICE you've just added *as a whole* is legally
needed/required by SURFnet.
Note that the AS 2.0 License section 4d) requires downstream users (like Apache
Rave and users thereof) to fully preserve this full NOTICE if/when we ever want
to reuse (portion of) this donation.
My question is: would this be true for the below NOTICE text *as a whole*
(legally), or maybe only be needed for the first sentence?
It is indeed our intention that this notice (including the third
paragraph) is fully preserved if (parts of) our code are ever reused in
RAVE (or any other project). I hope this doesn't lead to any problems,
or any reluctance to reuse the code.
If it does, we need to see if we can work anything out, but for now this
is a requirement that my employer (i.e. SURFnet) imposes for these kinds
of code releases.
Hi Bas,
No, it is no problem you require this, that is of course up to SURFnet to
decide. I just wanted to make sure this was fully understood :)
And this poses no limitation at all for reuse. Either way, some notice for the
SURFnet donation was expected to be required. More or less doesn't really matter
from a re-usability perspective.
Thanks, Ate
Best regards,
Bas.
