The gentoo-news repository requires a Signed-off-by line in the commit, |
| 2 |
while news items don't have any license information. So technically, |
| 3 |
these commits aren't compliant with GLEP 76. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
The simplest way to fix this would be adding a README file in the |
| 6 |
top-level dir of the repository, see patch below. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
This would apply retroactively since 2018-10-21 (when GLEP 76 was marked |
| 9 |
as Active). I am going to file a bug for authors to acknowledge that |
| 10 |
their news items can be distributed under CC-BY-SA-4.0. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Alternatively, we could add a new header line with license information |
| 13 |
to the items themselves, but that would be more complicated with (IMHO) |
| 14 |
little gain. |
