A set of templates that aim to follow community best practices around releasing open source software.
The goal of the files in this repo is to provide a starting point for licensing and coyright texts in source.
Please feel free to use these templates for text and headers in your own project and feel free to send patches on improvements if you've got them. Perhaps begin with our CONTRIBUTING.md file?
In our example directory we have some examples on how to list copyright and license on a per-file basis. We use the SPDX "short tag" format for this. SPDX license identifiers for various licenses are available here; https://spdx.org/licenses/
The Free Software Foundation Europe has created a document on software reuse that they've contributed to the OpenChain project; https://github.com/OpenChain-Project/curriculum/blob/master/guides/Reuse-for-OpenChain.md
