NGI0 - Updating licensing aspects according REUSE

Lina Ceballos requested to merge
lnceballos/edea:main into main

Hello,

We have been working within the NGI0 framework, helping projects with their licensing and copyright management. After a quick check on your repository, I would like to propose some updates regarding copyright and licensing information. REUSE specifications intend to make licensing easier by setting one way to display all this legal information through comment headers on source files that can be human - and machine – readable.

The REUSE tool makes the process of applying licenses to files and compliance checking much easier. Check this screen cast:

Feel completely free to adopt these specifications by merging this pull request.

Note: I made some changes and pushed them to my forked repo before you guys decided to change the license of the project. However, I updated the license info in all the commits, so this merge request is up to date.

REUSE Features:

  • SPDX copyright and license comment headers for all relevant files

  • LICENSES directory with the license used on the repository.

  • Associating Copyright/ Licensing information through a DEP5 file in large directories

Files missing copyright and licensing information:

I added the SPDX headers with copyright and license information to all the copyrightable files.

Please also double check if the personal information in the headers is correct and consistent.

I provided a more detailed license information to README file as well.

In .reuse folder I have created a dep5 file to bulk licensing the image directory fronted/src/icons/ and fronted/src/img/ (I licensed them under the main license of the project EUPL-1.2. In case you want to license them under a different one, please modify the dep5 file and add the license text to the LICENSES directory)

No contribution policy:

We have noticed that your project does not have a contribution policy. Therefore, we strongly recommend you to implement one. To get further information about this please check our documentation: https://download.fsfe.org/NGI0/V2/FSFE%20-%204%20-%20Free%20Software%20Contribution%20Policy.pdf

Further REUSE compliance

In case you find REUSE useful, we offer a wide range of tools to help you to continuously check and display compliance with the REUSE guidelines.

Hope that helps and thank you very much for the amazing job!
