Hi,
applying Andreas' license digger (tool to convert existing license headers to
SPDX compliant headers. see https://invent.kde.org/sdk/licensedigger ) on some
code resulted in some more reflections about the respective code and its
current licenses, which could not immediately be resolved by looking at KDE's
Licensing Policy ( https://community.kde.org/Policies/Licensing_Policy ).
So to get help with those questions, I opened three respective tasks on
phabricator, hoping that the usual suspects as well as others also with
licensing knowledge could help resolve those, so the policy can be updated
where needed:
Clarify usage of BSD-3-Clause license with (CMake) code
https://phabricator.kde.org/T13344
Recommended/required license for example code
https://phabricator.kde.org/T13345
Recommended/required license for generated code
https://phabricator.kde.org/T13346
TIA,
Cheers
Friedrich
