Add missing license - Githubissues

repo-mountie[bot] commented 5 years ago

Repos in our organization need to be licensed appropriately; you'll need to decide how to licence different components of your project based on what the contents are. Here is the TL;DR version:

Source code created by the BCGov should be Apache (Apache-2.0);
Text created by the BCGov should be Creative Commons International 4.0 (CC BY);
Data created by the BCGov should be Open Government Licence - BC (OGL-BC).

For more information, or for out-of-the-box situations check out the BC Policy Framework for GitHub.

Since most repos are code based I've added the Apache-2.0 license as part of this PR. Please checkout this branch and change the license as needed or merge if if you're happy with my suggestion.

If you're not sure what to do add a comment below with the word help in it; a real-live-person will reply back to help you out.
Only license content BCGov creates. If it was created by someone else you must include the original license that work was released under.

Hi there,

I think the LICENSE file attached in the PR is incorrect. No-where does it specify the copyright holder - the Province of British Columbia. You can see line 190 needs to be filled out but it isn't. https://github.com/bcgov/prime-web/blob/70f1a03f9e71156bdff66ebf0346d86707c86d41/LICENSE#L190

Unless advised otherwise, we will be manually adding the Apache-2 license we have from an earlier file that lists the Province of British Columbia.

Hey again,

I've copied over the other LICENSE we have. Please let me know if it's invalid or needs changing, e.g .to match your longer form one. I've written a script to generate a LICENSE file in all our projects, and also to set the year to $currentYear. Let me know if any of this seems wrong to you, but for now I'm marking this issue closed.

Cheers
