The amount of open source projects not following reuse and SPDX best practice is sad to see.

Checkout reuse.software/ , it is good thing to adopt for your software and makes it a lot more convenient to share code and ideas between projects while also respecting the software license. and the kernel massively make use of that.

reuse.softwareREUSE - Make licensing easy for everyoneWe make licensing easy for humans and machines alike. REUSE solves a fundamental issue that Free Software licensing has at the very source. Adopting our recommendations is as easy as one-two-three!

@carlschwan Yet another thing to investigate for my todo list. I wish there was more automating for this, given author info is in git commit logs it feels it should be possible to auto-generate this.

@SylvieLorxu Here is a good starting point :) invent.kde.org/-/snippets/2770

Feel free to adapt it, it's licensed under MIT ;)

@SylvieLorxu, if you need help, happy to lend a hand with that. Thanks for Catima.

@carlschwan

@hook @SylvieLorxu @carlschwan Looking into reuse for my own projects is still somewhere on my massive to-do list (though I do use SPDX headers). Happy to help figure out how we can use it for Catima (and then finally use it for my own projects too) :)
