+Specification |

+============= |
62 |
+ |
63 |
+Purpose / Scope |
64 |
+--------------- |
65 |
+ |
66 |
+This policy documents how Gentoo contributors comply and document |
67 |
+copyright for any contributions made to Gentoo. Anyone committing |
68 |
+documentation or sources to any repository hosted on Gentoo |
69 |
+infrastructure must comply with this policy. |
70 |
+ |
71 |
+Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the trustees or |
72 |
+the -project list. Any concerns over possible copyright violations |
73 |
+should be directed to the Trustees if they cannot be worked out to |
74 |
+anyone's satisfaction with the appropriate maintainer. |
75 |
+ |
76 |
+ |
77 |
+Licensing of Gentoo Projects |
78 |
+---------------------------- |
79 |
+ |
80 |
+Every Gentoo project must abide by the Gentoo Social Contract |
81 |
+[#SOCIAL-CONTRACT]_ and release its work under one or more of the |
82 |
+following: |
83 |
+ |
84 |
+a) The GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPL-2+) |
85 |
+ [#GPL-2]_. |
86 |
+ |
87 |
+b) The Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License |
88 |
+ (CC-BY-SA-3.0, only for documentation) [#CC-BY-SA-3.0]_. |
89 |
+ *[Note: or version 4.0, to be decided]* |
90 |
+ |
91 |
+c) A license approved as GPL compatible by the Free Software |
92 |
+ Foundation [#GPL-COMPAT]_. |
93 |
+ |
94 |
+Exceptions for other free software licenses will be granted by the |
95 |
+Gentoo Foundation on a case by case basis. |
96 |
+ |
97 |
+For easy reference, the license for each project should be documented |
98 |
+on the wiki page at [#PROJECTS]_. |
99 |
+ |
100 |
+ |
101 |
+Certificate of Origin |
102 |
+--------------------- |
103 |
+ |
104 |
+All commits to Gentoo-hosted repositories shall be accompanied by a |
105 |
+certificate of origin. The purpose of the certificate is to declare |
106 |
+that the contribution can be modified and redistributed in accordance |
107 |
+with the project's license. |
108 |
+ |
109 |
+For commits made using a VCS, the committer shall certify agreement |
110 |
+to the Gentoo DCO by adding ``Signed-off-by: Name <e-mail>`` to the |
111 |
+commit message as a separate line. |
112 |
+ |
113 |
+The following is the current Gentoo DCO 1.0:: |
114 |
+ |
115 |
+ Gentoo Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.0 |
116 |
+ |
117 |
+ By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: |
118 |
+ |
119 |
+ (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me, and I have |
120 |
+ the right to submit it under the free software license indicated |
121 |
+ in the file; or |
122 |
+ |
123 |
+ (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best |
124 |
+ of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate free software |
125 |
+ license, and I have the right under that license to submit that |
126 |
+ work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by |
127 |
+ me, under the same free software license (unless I am permitted |
128 |
+ to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or |
129 |
+ |
130 |
+ (c) The contribution is a license text (or a file of similar nature), |
131 |
+ and verbatim distribution is allowed; or |
132 |
+ |
133 |
+ (d) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person |
134 |
+ who certified (a), (b), (c), or (d), and I have not modified it. |
135 |
+ |
136 |
+ I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are |
137 |
+ public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal |
138 |
+ information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained |
139 |
+ indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or |
140 |
+ the free software license(s) involved. |
141 |

150 |
+Copyright Attribution |
151 |
+--------------------- |
152 |
+ |
153 |
+All files hosted by Gentoo must contain an appropriate copyright |
154 |
+notice, as defined by this policy. |
155 |
+ |
156 |
+A proper copyright notice appears near the top of the file, and reads, |
157 |
+``Copyright YEAR LARGEST-CONTRIBUTOR and others (see below).`` |
158 |
+The largest contributor is whatever entity owns copyright to some |
159 |
+portion of the largest number of lines in the file. The ``and others |
160 |
+(see below)`` text may be omitted if the largest contributor holds |
161 |
+copyright to the entire file. |
162 |
+ |
163 |
+If there are other copyright holders, then somewhere in the file the |
164 |
+full list of copyright holders must be listed, or a reference to a |
165 |
+list in another file stored in a Gentoo repository. |
166 |
+ |
167 |
+No file may be committed to a Gentoo repository unless at least 60% of |
168 |
+the lines in the file are accounted for in the list of copyright |
169 |
+holders. Any content already in a Gentoo repository as of DATE shall |
170 |
+count towards the 60% rule even if not attributed. Note that 60% is |
171 |
+the minimum required for compliance with this policy - all |
172 |
+contributors are strongly encouraged to strive for 100% attribution. |
173 |
+ |
174 |
+It is the responsibility of anyone making a commit to update the |
175 |
+contributor list for any additions made to the repository. Committers |
176 |
+are not required to double-check content already in the repository. |
177 |
+ |
178 |
+Anyone finding a file out of compliance should log a bug against the |
179 |
+associated project/package providing as much information as possible. |
180 |
+Files that are not brought into compliance within 60 days or upon a |
181 |
+request for removal by a aggrieved copyright holder will be removed. |
182 |
+Any concerns not addressed by a maintainer can be appealed to the |
183 |
+Trustees. |
184 |
+ |
185 |
+ |
186 |
+Licensing to the Gentoo Foundation |
187 |
+---------------------------------- |
188 |
+ |
189 |
+All are welcome and encouraged (but NOT required) to assign copyright |
190 |
+for their contributions to the Gentoo Foundation. Doing so makes |
191 |
+compliance with this policy easier (fewer copyright holders to list), |
192 |
+and allows the Foundation to enforce copyrights and re-license content |
193 |
+if appropriate (this will only be done in accordance with the social |
194 |
+contract and the FLA). |
195 |
+ |
196 |
+Copyright is assigned to the Foundation by electronically signing the |
197 |
+Gentoo Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) [#FLA]_. |
198 |
+ |
199 |
+The agreement may be signed BY **TODO...** If the scope of the signed |
200 |
+agreement included future contributions, the contributor may document |
201 |
+their wish to stop assigning copyright by **TODO...** |
202 |
+ |
203 |
+A list of those who have signed this agreement and the scope of their |
204 |
+assignments may be found at **LINK**. This list may be useful when |
205 |
+attributing copyright. |
