I’ve created a QEP<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/279> that summarizes this discussion. As suggested, I think we can go forward with the non-blocking warning for now and implement licensing requirements on schedule. I'll be creating a documented PR for this fix shortly.

Regarding the license topic: +1 for the metadata field with a spdx license. But take care, it's not so easy to a have an exhaustive list. Maybe we should move to the PyPi classifiers since plugins are Python packages and there is already a work on maintaining a metadata ecosystem, including tooling to check it (pip install packaging). Are we okay with the step back to only a non-blocking warning? Regards On 27/11/2023 10:50, Lova Andriarimalala via QGIS-Developer wrote: Hello everyone, Thank you all. It's truly an honor to work on this project. I will begin by utilizing QEP to create a QEP that summarizes this discussion and going forward with the suggestion to make the license file recommended for now. I have reviewed the tickets in the backlog and will evaluate their size. If I come across anything that I don't understand, I will add comments to seek clarification.

I agree only breaking changes should go "the long way" and for simple fixes and improvements we should just get them done with low overhead. Going forward with a small QEP for the license sounds very good. Regarding the metadata, I would suggest we use the ids from https://spdx.org/licenses/. So for the usual QGIS plugin case, that would be license=GPL-2.0-or-later On another note, I just added a couple of tickets to the backlog, I am not able to estimate the size of them, so if they are too complicated, just don't prioritize them.

Tim/Lova, thanks for your outstanding efforts and commitment here! It's really exciting to see all the love and attention that the web and plugin infrastructure is getting as a result! 😍 Thanks so much Nyall and all credit goes to Lova who is doing fantastic work! What I suggest is that moving forward, Lova uses QEP's too propose and discuss breaking / major workflow changes on the plugins site. In that QEP he can address: * what the change is (link back to ticket in QGIS-Django for example) * what the impact will be * proposed roll out time line etc. And we can discuss and agree these changes there before he goes ahead with it. For smaller changes, I suggest he 'just get on with it' - his scrum board is public and you are all welcome to help prioritise his work. For the current issue under discussion (license requirements for plugins), I have asked Lova to make a QEP and synthesize the discussion there, mainly so he can have a practice run at going through the QEP process, although I will add my 2c that I like Matthias' simple solution to the problem (adding license as a line to the metadata.txt). If I understand you right Matthias, our metadata would then look like this?: ----------------------------- [general] name=QGIS Animation Workbench description=A plugin to let you build animations in QGIS about=QGIS Animation Bench exists because we wanted to use all the awesome cartography features in QGIS and make cool, animated maps! QGIS already includes the Temporal Manager which allows you to produce animations for time-based data. But what if you want to make animations where you travel around the map, zooming in and out, and perhaps making features on the map wiggle and jiggle as the animation progresses? That is what the animation workbench tries to solve... version=1.1 qgisMinimumVersion=3.0 author=Tim Sutton email=t...@kartoza.com<mailto:t...@kartoza.com> repository=https://github.com/timlinux/QGISAnimationPlugin license=GPLv2 ----------------------------- There is probably another thread to this discussion which is to understand which license are accepted and which not, but that is a job for another QEP I guess...!
