Re: GitHub license display confused by LICENSE-header.txt
Turns out that it is sufficient to rename additional top-level files with the string 'license' in them. (and update any references, of course) However GH does not re-evaluate the license unless the file itself is touched. All the components now show up as AL2.0 apart from math and weaver. Not sure what to do about those yet. N.B. to do a quick check of the GH license attribution: curl -sq https://api.github.com/repos/apache/commons-exec/license | grep -v '"content":' On Tue, 9 Mar 2021 at 18:22, Gary Gregory wrote: > > Awesome, thank you Sebb! > > Gary > > On Tue, Mar 9, 2021, 12:11 sebb wrote: > > > Good idea. > > > > I have done that for commons-codec, and GH has now agreed to use AL2.0 > > > > However it did seem to need a dummy change to the LICENSE file to > > re-evaluate the license. > > > > I'll see about fixing the others > > > > On Tue, 9 Mar 2021 at 01:15, Melloware Inc wrote: > > > > > > In commons beanutils we recommend using /src/conf for these type of > > files. > > > > > > Sent from my iPhone > > > > > > > On Mar 8, 2021, at 8:13 PM, sebb wrote: > > > > > > > > On Tue, 9 Mar 2021 at 01:08, Bernd Eckenfels > > wrote: > > > >> > > > >> Checkstyle-header.txt sounds good and maybe also moving it to a > > subdir like src/build/ or src/test/? > > > > > > > > There are other checkstyle files at the top-level; best to keep them > > together. > > > > > > > >> Gruss > > > >> Bernd > > > >> > > > >> > > > >> -- > > > >> http://bernd.eckenfels.net > > > >> > > > >> Von: sebb > > > >> Gesendet: Tuesday, March 9, 2021 1:41:02 AM > > > >> An: CommonsDev > > > >> Betreff: GitHub license display confused by LICENSE-header.txt > > > >> > > > >> Most of the Commons projects show up in GitHub as having the Apache > > 2.0 License > > > >> > > > >> However a few show up as 'other': > > > >> > > > >> commons-codec > > > >> commons-csv > > > >> commons-dbutils > > > >> commons-exec > > > >> commons-jelly > > > >> commons-logging > > > >> commons-math > > > >> commons-rdf > > > >> commons-text > > > >> commons-weaver > > > >> > > > >> AFAICT this is because there is more than 1 LICENSE file at the top > > level: > > > >> I forked codec and deleted the LICENSE-header.txt file, and the > > > >> license then showed up as AL 2.0. > > > >> > > > >> I think it's not only GitHub that might be confused by such files, so > > > >> I suggest they are moved or renamed to avoid the confusion.

Re: GitHub license display confused by LICENSE-header.txt
Good idea. I have done that for commons-codec, and GH has now agreed to use AL2.0 However it did seem to need a dummy change to the LICENSE file to re-evaluate the license.

I think we should try and get rid of these -header.txt files, there must be a way since not all components use them.
