Copyright and licenses¶

Every commit (even merge commits) must have a DCO sign-off. See Developer Certificate Of Origin.

Most source files must have a copyright notice and license statement.

• Example: source:services/api/Gemfile
• Run build/check-copyright-notices to check
• Run build/check-copyright-notices --fix to add the appropriate statement to files where it's missing (please preview result before committing!)
• Run build/check-copyright-notices --fix -- path/to/file1 path/to/file2 ... to check only specified file(s) (much faster!)

Third-party code in tree¶

It is acceptable to copy third-party code into the source tree, although there's usually a better way (e.g., use a Ruby gem and let bundler pull the code from an external repository at package-building time).

Third-party code that has been copied into the source tree:

• list.js, MIT (source:apps/workbench/app/assets/javascripts/list.js)
• sb-admin, Apache2 (source:apps/workbench/app/assets/stylesheets/sb-admin.css.scss)
• shell_in_a_box, GPLv2 (source:apps/workbench/public/webshell/)
• jquery.number.js, MIT (source:apps/workbench/vendor/assets/javascripts/jquery.number.min.js)
• bootstrap+fontawesome+glyphicons, MIT (source:doc/css/bootstrap.css, source:doc/fonts/, etc)
• runit-docker, BSD 3-clause (source:tools/arvbox/lib/arvbox/docker/runit-docker/)
