Telemetry in Plasma and Discover

[Nate Graham]

Hello all,

It's come to my attention that Plasma and Discover implemented support 
for opt-in-telemetry without complying with the requirements listed at 
https://community.kde.org/Policies/Telemetry_Policy#Compliance. The 
Request for review was done solely in a merge request, not also on these 
mailing lists.


I am retroactively emailing the kde-core-devel and kde-community mailing 
lists to request review of the telemetry support in these KDE products 
so that we can be in compliance with our own policies, should the review 
be positive and use of opt-in telemetry continues.

I will work on adding REUSE instructions as well!

Interestingly, the project Licentia itself uses the REUSE method, with named 
license files in the LICENSE/ directory.

It seems to me that both LICENSE.txt and REUSE are valid methods, so 
Licentia’s instructions should support both.

Personally, I prefer REUSE. :)

That ship has long sailed. 
At least for frameworks and most of plasma has been converted.

Please note that Gitlab and other places still do rely on LICENSE (or
COPYING) files being present (and I guarantee there is distribution tooling
out there that does the same too) so I wouldn't be too quick to shoot down
LICENSE files in the root of repositories.

I am not entirely happy about the Instruction to use a license being 'put a 
LICENSE file in the root directory' when it's a pattern we are going away from 
and towards reuse compliance. 
Maybe display the SPDX tag instead?
