I din't _changed_ the license, just made explicit in the file the license used in the activity. Didn't asked to anybody.

If anybody of them do not agree (and I am _pretty_sure_ that will not be the case) I will remove the code if needed.

Re: [Sugar-devel] license of layout.py in Sugar Calculate activity
Hi Gonzalo, Quoting Gonzalo Odiard (2015-06-18 13:33:57) In our project, is a common practice include a COPYING file in the activity directory. Include the text on every file does not have sense for us, more thinking we still support old devices with few storage space, as the XO-1. Could you clarify what are you asking for, specifically, please? In the next cycle I plan work on tools to make sure all the information for packagers is available n the activities. Is good have you and others involved. What I request is that you properly release your code as Free software. Including a COPYING file (containing e.g. the full GPL v2 license) helps save space, so that each copyright holder need not repeat the full licensing terms but can refer to that common file. The presence of a COPYING file do not imply anything being licensed, however: The COPYING file _is_ a license but does not _grant_ licensing. Each and every copyright holder in a project need to license their contributions for the collective work to be Free software. A common practice is to include copyright holders and licensing at the top of each source file (each copyright holder on one line with the years that copyright holder contributed to the file, and below the license). Another practice is to list copyright holders and licensing terms as a summary in a file at the root dir of the project. That practice may be adequate in tightly streamlined projects, but for Sugar projects which at its core strongly encourage copying code snippets and forking aggressively, I strongly recommend to embed the copyright and licensing in each file so it gets preserved when copying files across projects. A project leader cannot state a license on behalf of other contributors, unless the contributors have handed over their copyright to the project leader (a practice common for some larger projects, e.g. the GNU project). Concretely, I noticed a copyright statement for Aneesh in a file, with no corresponding licensing statement, and I request that Aneesh explicitly state the licensing of that file (e.g. GPL v2 or newer). It is not the only inadequate licensing issue of that activity, but a more prominent flaw. Most translation files are wrongly licensed too...

Re: [Sugar-devel] license of layout.py in Sugar Calculate activity
I'm with Jonas on this. The fault is a copyright statement in a work without a license, and yes, only the original copyright owner can correct it. In my opinion, that correction can be a mail reply from the original copyright owner saying Gonzalo, please add this license short text, or Gonzalo, please remove the copyright line. (Best is the first). Or it can be a patch. But it's not something the new maintainer can _ever_ do, alone. I now have to reconsider inclusion of this activity. Don't let that happen again! ;-) -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
