Don't render the boilerplate in the license template. #44
Comments
My original meaning is don't render the variables(as I pointed in the url, in line 280)
just let them be. the change was introduced in 09e3271 |
By the way, got this information from here
|
As in, don't create output like this?
|
As far as I know, yeah, just let them be, don't render them. |
In my experience, I have always seen years and names explicitly included in the copyright line when using the GPL. I will look for official documentation re. the GPL on that matter, but to give an example, when I started maintaining PHP Mode for Emacs I was told to update the copyright line(s) appropriately like so. So I don't think we should remove them from the template. I think the GPL requires such information, but I could be wrong, so like I said I'll look for any documentation/information on the matter. |
For example, the gpl-2.0 license, we don't have to render the boilerplate at the end of the license, all we need is just copy the content into a file named LICENSE.
Let me know if I was wrong.
