We had a clarifications via OSGeo legal in August. I shared it with the mailing list here and wrote a geotools blog post (which was the project seeking clarification). GeoServer, and I expect other OSGeo project will match this policy over time as is less work. <br><br><a href="http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/geotools-header-policy-updated.html">http://geotoolsnews.blogspot.com.au/2016/06/geotools-header-policy-updated.html</a><br><br><a href="https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Updates-to-Copyright-Header-Policy">https://github.com/geotools/geotools/wiki/Updates-to-Copyright-Header-Policy</a><br><br><a href="https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP%20147">https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/wiki/GSIP%20147</a><br><br>Do you have any questions? <br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Sep 20, 2016 at 12:44 AM Tom Kralidis <<a href="mailto:tomkralidis@gmail.com">tomkralidis@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi all: we are discussing the requirement of copyright/license headers<br>
as part of PyWPS incubation [1] and as a result looking for clarification.<br>
<br>
The FAQ in [2] says that we need this for every source file.  While I<br>
fully agree with this practice there are questions and examples of<br>
other 'serious' (<- my word :) projects which do not adhere to this, like<br>
the Django project (e.g. in [3]).<br>
<br>
Thoughts?  Am I (aside from my personal preference of always having these<br>
headers) interpreting this requirement incorrectly?  If not, is there<br>
background/context which roots the requirement?<br>
<br>
Please advise.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
