Summary

• For any new files you create, add the license header as described below.
• Whenever you edit a file under the tri-license, add yourself to the contributors list.

Files that already have a license

• Files that already have a license should retain that license.

Files we create

• New files go under the MPL/LGPL/GPL Tri-license: here's the boilerplate.

Filling in the blanks

• Initial Developer:

...

• • For others:

• Original Code:

The rest should be self-explanatory. Update this page if there is any ambiguity that needs fixing.

Licensing Todo/further investigation list

Cameron will be going through all files that are currently checked in that have not been licensed and throwing the header at them.

• services/ - stuff from v2 that's not licensed, and Lars' migration script (need to get confirmation from Lars on which email to use.)
• site/app/controllers/components - From v1 I think.
• site/app/tests/test_helper.php - Original file from http://cakephp.org/pastes/show/8803bd09150cb65cc7da63f92cdbc828 ...
• site/app/webroot/ - some of this is cake/MIT, so need to be careful. Do we want licensing in css and js files? Means the user has to download them so probably not the best idea. What's the protocol on images? Maybe just a LICENSE file in the directory? What about directories with images from cake and images we made ourselves?
• Perhaps some license information in the top directory? (next to services and site)
