* glep-0076: Fix date of copyright assignment documentUlrich Müller2024-09-021-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The assignment document was committed to the gentoo CVS repository on 2003-12-09: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/archive/proj/gentoo.git/commit/?id=9b5e6825a96238a4dfe83cc92d641858a0740222 We also have three forms signed by developers that are dated 2003-12-29 and 2003-12-31.

* glep-0076: Drop reference to project licensing wiki pageUlrich Müller2024-03-311-6/+0
| | | | | | | | This hasn't worked out; few projects list their licenses there. In any case, the wiki page can continue to exist but it need not be part of the policy. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>
* glep-0076: Shift responsibilities from Trustees to CouncilUlrich Müller2024-03-311-9/+18
| | | | | | | | After Gentoo Linux has become an associated project of SPI, the Council is the obvious entity to be responsible for the tasks previously assigned to the Trustees. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Müller <ulm@gentoo.org>

* glep-0076: Relax name policy to allow pseudonymsMichał Górny2023-03-251-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the signoff rules of GLEP 76 to allow using established pseudonyms in addition to legal names. This follows a similar change that has been carried in the Linux kernel's documentation [1] that Gentoo's policy has been based on. This change is proposed instead of the "version 1.2" that has been approved on 2022-12-11 but have not been pushed yet. That version made the wording significantly more complex without actually addressing the original issue.

* glep-0076: Clarify that there can be more than one copyright notice.Ulrich Müller2018-12-111-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | For example, CC-BY-SA-4.0 and FDL-1.3 both require that previous copyright notices are left intact. Also it is not entirely clear if and how the DMCA (17 U.S. Code §1202) applies to works released under a free software license. No update of version number because this is an editorial change.

* glep-0076: Add another reference to the Linux DCO.Ulrich Müller2018-09-081-6/+8
| | | | | | | | Explicitly refer to https://developercertificate.org/, because different wordings of DCO version 1.1 exist. Slightly reword the last paragraph in the "Certificate of Origin" section, as discussed with K_F.

| | | | Don't use "separate" three times in one sentence.
* glep-0076: Allow the Linux DCO as an alternative.Ulrich Müller2018-08-311-1/+7
| | | | | | Note that it can only be used if applicable (requested by mgorny): "... we should explicitly note that people using kernel DCO can't commit license files"
* glep-0076: Rename the DCO to "Gentoo Certificate of Origin".Ulrich Müller2018-08-311-15/+16
| | | | | | | | | We cannot name it DCO, because the license conditions of OSDL's DCO 1.1 say: If you modify you must use a name or title distinguishable from "Developer's Certificate of Origin" or "DCO" or any confusingly similar name.
* glep-0076: Reformat the certificate of origin.Ulrich Müller2018-08-311-26/+27
| | | | | | For better readability, format as a block quote instead of a literal block. Use same format for items as will appear in the HTML output, i.e., 1. instead of (1).
* glep-0076: Use Roman numerals in the list of DCO changes.Ulrich Müller2018-08-311-11/+11
| | | | | Avoid possible confusion, because the enumeration's items refer to numeric and alpha items of other lists.

| | | | | | | - Delete redundant phrase "to anyone's satisfaction" from Purpose/Scope. - Say "Gentoo Authors" (without "The") in the copyright notice. - Spelling and typographic fixes. - Update URLs to https.

* glep-0076: Update copyright attribution section.Ulrich Müller2018-06-171-12/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | Consider input from mailing lists and IRC: - Require a license notice too. - Assets like images won't allow for a notice in the file (mrueg). - Don't rely on line counting, but state that the main copyright holder must be listed. Also some of the ideas of this section have been checked against GNU maintainer documentation: https://www.gnu.org/prep/maintain/html_node/Copyright-Notices.html

| | | | | | | | | | | Given that there are official and semi-official Gentoo projects hosted outside Gentoo Infrastructure, I think it's reasonable to apply the policy to all official Gentoo projects, independently of hosting. Furthermore, it wouldn't hurt to encourage unofficial projects to use the same policy. Also update a few more paragraphs to clearly indicate it applies to all Gentoo projects, independently of hosting.
