− | Text of Proposal to POC
| |
− | | |
− | There was some discussion in the past regarding Copyright headers in [[OpenStack]] source files. I don't know that there was a clear decision, so here's a proposal based on ML feedback and personal preference.
| |
− | | |
− | 1. Adding a Copyright header is optional
| |
− | Copyright headers are NOT required, however if you have contributed to a file and wish to add yourself/your company as a Copyright holder that's fine.
| |
− | | |
− | 2. The Openstack LLC Copyright should not be added as a default
| |
− | Standard practice by many seems to be just throw in "Copyright Openstack LLC" and the Apache License header. I think it would be more appropriate that only the Apache header is added, and your own Copyright if you desire.
| |
− | | |
− | 3. Maintain individual/company Copyrights
| |
− | When copying/modifying a file existing Copyright headers are maintained. A contributor may add themeselves to the list of Copyright holders, but may not remove any listed Copyright headings.
| |
− | | |
− | 4. No source files in the Openstack source tree should be without the Apache license header
