Link to license-page? #438

ardiman · 2014-11-22T13:18:18Z

Hi,
it would be nice if meta code for license like:

// @license      CC BY-NC-SA 3.0; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/

showed a real link to the given url (here: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/) on the script page .

A link like
CC BY-NC-SA 3.0
would be even better.

Thank you.

This was always my intention since 2005ish on USO however very few actually follow the format structure (needs full user.js engine support to cement it)... I'm thinking we'll eventually have a dictionary lookup and linkify those... but as "linkify" suggests there actually is a .user.js or hundred out there that does this.

Great shared idea and thanks. :)

@ardiman

This should be complete. Please note that all of your scripts utilizing CC only (which is a Content License) need to declare an OSI Code License SPDX short identifier when you utilize the @license key. e.g CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 isn't valid any more. Please use CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0 and the optional web url following it with a ; . In long format @license CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/legalcode.

MIT is the least restrictive/permissive of all the Code Licenses so I recommend at minimum you do this from the information passed on by legal counsel:

@license CC-BY-NC-SA-3.0
@license MIT

MIT must be last in the metadata block to conform to the Terms of Service... but you can still do dual-licensing provided the SPDX short id exists.

After some time we're going to require the OSI @license key so arbitration won't be necessary with new and updated scripts. Much easier on administration. :)

Thanks,

Closing... if there are any specific issues to this issue please notate here with a mention to myself... otherwise open a new issue with a more specific request.
