[Biococoa-dev] license

[Koen van der Drift]

Hi,

Now that the poster already shows the CC license, it's time to add  
that to the project as well. Based on the license type we agreed on,  
I suggest we add the following text to each source and header file:

//  Copyright (c) 2005 The BioCocoa Project. All rights reserved.
//
//  This code is covered by the Creative Commons Share-Alike  
Attribution license.

//	to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work

//	Under the following conditions:
//	You must attribute the work in the manner specified by the author  
or licensor.
//	If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may  
distribute the resulting work only under a license identical to this  
one.
//

license terms of this work.
//	Any of these conditions can be waived if you get permission from  
the copyright holder.
//
//       For more info see: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/ 
2.5/


I guess we will also have to add an extended version as a separate  
file to the project.

If nobody objects and/or has any comments, I will add this to all the  
files in BioCocoa 2.0 in the next couple of days. The current release  
(1.7) still has the LGPL license and I don't think we should change  
that. Howver, in that case the poster should mention that the CC  
license is for the 2.0 release only.


cheers,

- Koen.
