Expanded info in the main file
Closed this issue · 1 comments
I think it would be helpful to have the license and the URL to the GitHub repo in the file, so that it's easy to add the file(s) to a project's cmake folder.
I think I originally didn't put the license info in the files themselves because I was trying to follow the pattern in other CMake files where the full license was specified in its own separate file. I see now though that CMake files still include at least some minimal copyright info and a link to the full license text. For example, most module files that come with CMake seem to start with text similar to the following:
# Distributed under the OSI-approved BSD 3-Clause License. See accompanying
# file Copyright.txt or https://cmake.org/licensing for details.
I'd be willing to consider something similar, perhaps adding the following to the top of the DownloadProject.cmake and DownloadProject.CMakeLists.cmake.in files:
# Distributed under the OSI-approved MIT License. See accompanying
# file LICENSE or https://github.com/Crascit/DownloadProject for details.
If this satisfies the licensing needs of the projects you are using these files in, feel free to submit the above as its own merge request and I should be able to accept it.
