00:00:00.972 --> 00:00:05.888
As a developer, worrying about copyright and licenses is tiresome.

2
00:00:05.988 --> 00:00:09.265
It takes time and energy which you would rather spend coding.

3
00:00:09.365 --> 00:00:11.599
Couldn't we get that work to someone else

4
00:00:11.936 --> 00:00:14.962
or - you know - automate the heck out of it?

5
00:00:15.062 --> 00:00:18.623
So we can replace the work with a very small shell script.

6
00:00:18.733 --> 00:00:22.344
Putting a Free and Open Source Software license on your code

7
00:00:22.644 --> 00:00:24.044
doesn't take a lot of time

8
00:00:24.344 --> 00:00:27.933
and there are several recommendations for how to do this.

9
00:00:28.033 --> 00:00:32.220
With our project REUSE SOFTWARE we aim for something more!

10
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:35.029
Copyright and licenses which can be read

11
00:00:35.129 --> 00:00:38.978
not only by humans, but by computers, too!

12
00:00:39.078 --> 00:00:41.831
To make some of the work with licenses and copyright

13
00:00:41.931 --> 00:00:44.120
is easy as running a lint checker.

14
00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:45.966
Here is what we are asking

15
00:00:46.183 --> 00:00:50.642
Provide the exact text of each license used in verbatim form

16
00:00:50.742 --> 00:00:53.433
without removing any existing license texts

17
00:00:53.883 --> 00:00:56.919
Include a copyright notice and license in each file

18
00:00:57.019 --> 00:01:00.916
with a consistent style and with reference to the license text

19
00:01:00.983 --> 00:01:04.440
and an appropriate SPDX license identifier.

20
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:09.205
Provide an inventory of licenses and copyrights for included software

21
00:01:09.305 --> 00:01:12.326
but only if you can generate it automatically.

22
00:01:12.636 --> 00:01:15.442
