REUSE Compliance #87

n0toose commented 2023年12月30日 22:32:47 +01:00

Hi, I just had some extra time to contribute because of the holidays, but that does not mean that I expect you to deal with this right now. Please excuse my brevity in advance (and thank you for your efforts).

So, I started working on REUSE compliance (https://reuse.software) for https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/codeberg_voting_system and the last thing that I've had to fix seems to have been the codeberg.svg icon, which is a copy of: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Design/src/branch/main/logo/horizontal/svg/

So, I guess it would be best to start here, as I'd be able to copy-paste the exact same file containing the exact same information, which is the benefit of what I'm trying to do.

That brings me to two questions:

• Would you be interested in having this repository become compliant?
  • If yes, I will ask this: The logo was released under the public domain, but is still protected by Codeberg's trademark. Would it be OK if I still credited you using mray using SPDX-FileContributor (and optionally w/ an email and a year)?
  • This would entail the following:
    • Moving the LICENSE file into a LICENSES file (I am aware that there is no full copy of the CC0 license, but I could find a way that will retain the text that is currently present in the LICENSE file)
    • Adding comments that look like this in basically every file:

/*
 * SPDX-FileCopyrightText: Codeberg e.V.
 *
 * SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later
 */

• While I'm at it, got any complaints regarding the branding in that other repository that I could fix?

So, I started working on REUSE compliance (https://reuse.software) for https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/codeberg_voting_system and the last thing that I've had to fix seems to have been the `codeberg.svg` icon, which is a copy of: https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Design/src/branch/main/logo/horizontal/svg/ So, I guess it would be best to start here, as I'd be able to copy-paste the exact same file containing the exact same information, which is the benefit of what I'm trying to do.

Would you be interested in having this repository become compliant?

Not exactly familiar with that, but it sounds good, I guess.
The metadata in the svg should credit me by name. I think it is ultimately up to you if you want to give credit to me, since it is CC0.

got any complaints regarding the branding in that other repository that I could fix?

I'm sorry, what repository are you referring to?

Adding comments that look like this in basically every file:

I'm not a fan of that, as well as removing all redundant info from all files. Not sure if that means this compliance effort can't happen, but I hope you have the answers you were looking for.

One could use an external file to declare copyright:

• https://reuse.software/spec/#dep5
• https://reuse.software/faq/#metadata

It can happen, but I feel like I am trying to walk around broken glass over here anyway.

Not sure if that means this compliance effort can't happen, but I hope you have the answers you were looking for.

I will proceed with doing in external repositories instead in the way that I just described without modifying the original file.
