Inconsistent copyright attribution in license #1685
Comments
As part of SmartBear, I have to suggest to also put "SmartBear" in the copyright. I am pretty sure we will have to, in addition or in replacement of the "Cucumber Ltd" one. However, I would encourage putting the contributors first. Maybe we may also consider having an explicit list of contributors, in a dedicated file (CONTRIBUTORS.md?) listing all contributors - even people who have contributed a single time - to the code? Git would then help to associate contributors to line of codes if this would be required later. |
I'd consider that another issue that can be resolved separately from or after this one. |
For reference, Swagger (anther SmartBear open source project) uses "SmartBear Software Inc." https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-ui/blob/master/LICENSE |
During the contributors meeting we observed that the copyright attribution in the various license files is inconsistent between projects and between reality.
I would suggest using "Cucumber Ltd and Contributors".
