Hi everybody,
thanks for the feedback.
I think a smaller contibuting-guide (with links etc.) might be a thing
of the future, we will surely continuously improve on this thing. A
paragraph on the fact that any provided work/code will become OSS can be
added for sure. @Jan will you do this?
We can also directly update the copyright string in the file headers as
follows…
Copyright (c) 2018-present, terrestris GmbH & Co. KG and GeoStyler
contributors
…that would most probably be easiest and most futureproof. If you advise
so, I will gladly prepare such a change.
What do you think?
All the best,
Marc
