License information for the Open Energy Academy? #163

I added a metainformation page to the OEA. Short info on context, BMWK support logo. We should probably also add a license information here, and maybe also a contact possibility? What do you think?

I can edit the page and take on suggestions made here.

Good idea, Yes to all your questions from my side,

shall we also add PtJ and all partners?
I suggest License information CC BY 4.0, but in one of the tutorials there is also GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 (AGPL-3.0), what do you think, @Ludee?
@han-f do you - as the lead of this one - want to provide your project e-mail: Contact: oedb@oeko.de (if you want you can also use SIROP@iee.fraunhofer.de)

I think the PtJ link is not needed as they manage fr BMWK (but happy to add it if we want to), and I can definitely add all partners.

@han-f do you - as the lead of this one - want to provide your project e-mail: Contact: oedb@oeko.de (if you want you can also use SIROP@iee.fraunhofer.de)

Yes, I can add our Öko-email as contact

I added the partners and contact information. However, what about a license? I am unsure now, because all of our trainings and tutorials have individual licenses, so the Academy license itself, what would it apply to exactly?

u-mueller commented 1 year ago

Maybe we can use "License: CC BY 4.0 if not stated otherwise"

The AGPL is indeed not a good choice. We mostly produce texts and images. The jupyters and example codes could be CC0 or MIT. All contributions are by our consortium (IEE, ÖI, OVGU, RLI) If you agree I change the license for the repo and code and update the info page.

I do agree to change the licenses of this repo [RLI] @stap-m @han-f @u-mueller

@Ludee - what about the individual training courses that we have now indicated to be cc by 4.0? would we remove the license info there, or would they keep their individual license? @wingechr - what is your take on a license for the overall OEA?

Ludee commented 1 year ago

I would leave the license information for each course and tutorial because the copyright holder are different. The repo license covers all code and works as a fallback if no specific information is given.
