Include license #8

Open astrojuanlu opened 8 years ago

I am unable to find the license of the project. Former ANTLR-based project used BSD and EPL according to SourceForge, but it would be nice to clarify for this new incarnation of the compiler.

@rasmussn, would it be ok to add the license that OpenCoarrays uses, replacing the named copyright holders with whatever names you provide? The OpenCoarrays license is a 3-clause BSD license chosen because it increases the likelihood that corporations will use the software.

rasmussn commented 8 years ago

Yes, I was planning on using yours with the copyright modified. I've created the attached file. Perhaps you could look it over and let me know where to put it. I will also begin to put it on individual files where possible.

Thanks, Craig

Looks fine. I would put it in a file named “LICENSE” in the top level and, as you state, at the top of individual files too.

I believe @zbeekman is cooking up some sort of magic to help keep the copyright dates current. I think it will be in the form of a git hook that will check the copyright date on files as part of the automatic tests that get run every a pull request is submitted.

Why don't I add the licenses to the individual files. Some of the files don't allow comments :-(

@rasmussn I think all you really need to do is add a file named LICENSE in the git projects root directory containing the appropriate license text and commit that. Then in files allowing comments you can include a shorter copyright notice, and refer the reader to the top level LICENSE file.

@rouson As far as the git-hook goes, I'll look into it. No promises, though.

rouson commented 8 years ago

@zbeekman. I like that suggestion. We can adopt the same for OpenCoarrays at some point. That would decrease the hassle of maintaining dates. The date would only need to be updated annually the top-level license file. Also, I just noticed that we have separate top-level COPYRIGHT and LICENSE files, which essentially match in content but not in format. I'll delete the COPYRIGHT file.

@zbeekman just in case it's ever useful, a generic version of the license file is online.

I think wherever it's possible to include the "not our fault, use at your own risk" indemnification/disclaimer clause (the final ALL CAPS paragraph of the license/disclaimer) and some indication of Copyright it's probably a good idea, even if you have to update the copyright years etc. This makes it harder for people to rip off your work without attribution and may help prevent legal problemsI'm nolawyerthough should someone grab a component piece of software and attempt to use it for something.

Yes, it's also available from https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause and if you create a new repository on github.com you can choose to have it initialized with any number of open licenses, .gitignore files, and README.md boiler plates.
