Luis Villa <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from Luis Villa <[email protected]> --- I think it makes sense to: 1. Copy https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/HEAD/COPYING into https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/qa%2Fbrowsertests (Please rename it LICENSE instead of COPYING - that's not traditional, but it is more clear.) 2. Create a CREDITS file; suggest that anyone who has made a significant contribution put their name/handle there. 3. Use a brief header, instead of the traditional full GPL header; something like: ---- This file is subject to the license terms in the LICENSE file found in the browsertests top-level directory of and at https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/qa%2Fbrowsertests/HEAD/LICENSE. No part of browsertests, including this file, may be copied, modified, propagated, or distributed except according to the terms contained in the LICENSE file. Copyright 2013 by the Mediawiki developers. See the CREDITS file in the browsertests top-level directory and at https://git.wikimedia.org/tree/qa%2Fbrowsertests/HEAD/CREDITS. ---- This approach will keep the headers smaller (particularly nice for something like this) and means there is less to update should we ever need to clarify something. FYI, these recommendations are mostly based on https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2012/ManagingCopyrightInformation.html (We should probably consider working in that direction across all new projects, but that's a long-term project - no hurry.) I'd love to make the patch myself, but I'm swamped for the next few weeks... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
