Missing Copyright and License
caraarslan opened this issue · 6 comments
Dear Team,
Your software is missing the copyright (e.g. Copyright 2023 - X Y - x.y@domain) and a License (e.g. MIT - https://opensource.org/license/mit/).
This is needed for legal purposes, that your rights and intentions are properly represented.
Please add these to your GitHub page.
Many thanks!
Have a nice day!
It seems that the license is Apache-2.0
, and the copyright is written in each program file.
fluent-plugin-sql/lib/fluent/plugin/in_sql.rb
Lines 1 to 17 in 48e3927
Should we add the License file and information about Copyright to README?
Currently, out_sql.rb seems lack of copyright notice.
Oh, out_sql.rb
!
How should we add them?
out_sql.rb
was originally added by FURUHASHI Sadayuki
, but it was removed at 7154ae9.
After it, @repeatedly added it again at e5a389d.
Hi,
You can have a look at other ruby gems, e.g. FluentD.
https://github.com/fluent/fluentd
Usually they have a license.txt file and the copyright is either captured in the license or at the following places: notice.txt or in the readme file. At each release you need to check whether the copyright needs to be updated.
You can go also with a different License than Apache 2.0. Beside Apache 2.0 the MIT license is also very common.
You can check out the open source licenses at: https://opensource.org/licenses/
