Repos that don't have licenses #227

Closed Frijol closed 4 years ago

Frijol commented 5 years ago

When I was doing the repo audit I noticed that some of the repos don't have licenses.

  1. Can we blanket-apply the standard license from the template?
  2. Do we want/need to put licenses on the forks?

These repos don't have licenses:

EDGI repos

No License file but has a readme block

Forks

I suspect we can blanket-apply the standard license.

Mr0grog commented 5 years ago

FYI, web-monitoring-ops has since added a license.

So… is this still important? Someone (or I) can go ahead and add licenses to these. Is the repo list in the OP still accurate?

Frijol commented 4 years ago

@Mr0grog thanks! I think the list is accurate but haven't checked in over a year I think

Mr0grog commented 4 years ago

Hmmmm, edgi-hubot-halpy has been archived. Should we still add a license there? (That requires un-archiving it.)

Mr0grog commented 4 years ago

edgi-website (is it relevant to have a license here?)

Ah, yeah, I hadn’t realized there’s not even really an significant documentation or code there — and even if there were, it probably wouldn’t make sense to license for reuse. I’ll skip this one, too.

Mr0grog commented 4 years ago

Do we want/need to put licenses on the forks?

Technically, yes, but our choice of license may be (is, in this case) constrained by the licensing terms of the thing we forked. BUT! In this case, I think we have removed all uses of it (as of edgi-govdata-archiving/edgi-scripts#55), so it maybe better to just archive it and leave it be.

/cc @lightandluck any thoughts there?

Mr0grog commented 4 years ago

Looks like a license has since been added to eis-search.

Mr0grog commented 4 years ago

OK, I updated all the repos except the three kinda fuzzy ones I commented about above.

Frijol commented 4 years ago

Cool, thanks! And yay, we get to close this issue finally!
