Hi all,
short update from my side, as thinking about this topic.
I recommend:
A) Using Full Header as GNU Recommended
or
B) Using SPDX-License Header.
This is new in Open Source and maybe will make its way.
Frederik did already some research with that and we can scan complete
projects of
As far as I know, copyright is implicitly granted to authors almost
everywhere in the world, so writing the (c) in every file is useless.
Authors can simply use git to prove their rights whenever they need to.

For example, it is quite common that code from other developers, installed on
our customers systems, come to our company to work with. And many times it is
really difficult to discover who are the actual authors, the actual
license(s) (when not in Odoo) and the actual copyright date(s).

Hi,
Yannick's proposal remains quite minimal and seems compliable with some
standard.
But, does it need to contain the copyright info? That is the main point
that keeps hard to maintain: every file with copyright and authorship (and
its related issues like collaborations).
So, could this:
# -*-
This is a good idea to follow some standard.
However, SPDX meta tag SPDX-License-Identifier is not yet widely used.
It seems that it was firstly used by U-boot project
https://github.com/linux-sunxi/u-boot-sunxi/commit/1a4596601fd395f3afb8f82f3f840c5e00bdd57a
AFAICT it is still under draft
I think you see it not so simple. The basic shipment unit of code is
always a file. Not a module nor a git repositories.
And if you can have modules with libs include with other license you
want pretty see the kind of each class.
So we don't need not to reinvent the wheel. Just stick to GNU best

To be said I'm completely against removing completely the header I
think

Moreover, when writing a module you often have py files with only few
lines, thus the header takes a lot of place.
I think it is
I see perfect to reduce the overhead of the headers, because it's a
nonsense, so I would say option b, but a recurring conflicting issue is
about the copyright: this part doesn't reflect at all the reality of the
code because:
- People copy/paste from Odoo code and let Odoo copyright, which is
I put authorship, contributors and copyright info only in __openerp__.py.
On other .py files I just use:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#License, author and contributors information in: #
#__openerp__.py file at the root

(mostly taken from David Beal's proposal)
I think this is the simplest option. I'd even drop line 2 # Author:
author name.
We should also not put the licence in __openerp__.py but
Avoid the # box, I find it very irking to have that many heavy
characters like that.
Besides: E265 block comment should start with '# ' (single space after
the first hash).
How about:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
#
# License, author and contributors information in:
# __openerp__.py file at the root
Avoiding heavy characters case is perfectly fine, better indeed and less
stress for the eyes.

I agree with Pedro. Copyright notices are bad/useless
- Often outdated and incorrect (because copy pasted without
modifications, for example)
- Don't (can't) reflect the complicated situation of OCA modules
autorship/contributions
- useless from a legal point (see:
Also agree to option b. Not to mention that if there should be an update to
license it must be done in each and every .py file which is kind of
nonsense and very impractical
