[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1211621] Re: Correct license info in file headers
FYI: We decided not to put the license info at the top of the template files because the information got printed and it's not necessary to have the license info on any file if we have it elsewhere. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1211621] Re: Correct license info in file headers
That is to say, we tried adding the license info to template files
inside of Dwoo comment tags:
{* License goes here! *}
... but on some pages the comments actually got printed as part of the
template instead of ignored like they're supposed to. Since it's not
obligatory to print the license on top of every single file in a
project, we decided it wasn't worth troubleshooting the issue and just
left the license info off the template files.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1211621] Re: Correct license info in file headers
We use PHPDoc tags in Mahara. The main tool for converting those into
HTML these days is called phpDocumentor. There are a couple of tags for
linking around to other places in the code, including @see and inlink
{@link}:
-
http://manual.phpdoc.org/HTMLSmartyConverter/HandS/phpDocumentor/tutorial_tags.see.pkg.html
-
http://manual.phpdoc.org/HTMLSmartyConverter/HandS/phpDocumentor/tutorial_tags.inlinelink.pkg.html
But, I don't think either of them will let you link to a non-PHP file
like LICENSE. So we may as well just have the @copyright line read like
this:
* @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL version 3 or later
* @copyright For copyright information on Mahara, please see the LICENSE file
distributed with this software.

[Mahara-contributors] [Bug 1211621] Re: Correct license info in file headers
We are going to make this change once we have all new files in Mahara, i.e. right before the release of RC 1. We are going to do the following: 1. We have one file in Mahara that contains the copyright information. I would create LICENSE.txt. 2. Text as per below. 3. Each other file includes the following sentence at the top: For copyright information on Mahara, please see [path to the file]. 4. We should also include two @ lines so that license and copyright information is properly picked up by documentation tools that can display such information. Check with Aaron who that might look like as he had a tool installed to check. I think it is the following two lines: --- * @license http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html GNU GPL version 3 or later * @copyright For copyright information on Mahara, please see [path to the file] --- 3. If a file contains bits and pieces from someone else with different copyright, then that is added below our general copyright sentence directly in that one file.
