Meeting 2​

(June 7th, 2022)

GSoC 2022 Discussions - REUSE

Attendees​

Discussions​

  • How should licenses and copyrights be applied to files without licenses or copyrights?

    • Use GPL 2.0-only license for such files without copyright.

  • Do I need to create a Wiki Page for the REUSE Standard?

    • Yes. You can implement it in 2 ways: i) By creating a separate wiki page ii) By adding in fossology/CONTRIBUTING.md

  • Do I need to add the current year to the copyright?

    • No. Since we are not changing any logic in the file, we shouldn't change the copyright year.

  • How to add license and copyright in JSON files?

    • JSON is for data only, and if you include a comment, then it will be data too. The file-name.json.license file needs to be created to add the license and copyright.

  • Can we have more than one license for a file?

    • Yes, it’s possible. You can use SPDX syntax to define them. For example: SPDX-License-Identifier: (GPL-2.0 OR MIT) SPDX-License-Identifier: (LGPL-2.1 AND BSD-2-CLAUSE)

  • Should I change the year ranges?

    • Concerning the year ranges, we should not change the existing year ranges(and not change the end year if no substantial modification was done in the file).

  • Do not modify testdata files.

Conclusion and Further Plans​

  • Implement discussed solution in upcoming week.
