Hi All,
I'm sending you that little e-mail because i'm confronted to a specific
license constraint while i have to declare my personal work as i'm
working for French government.
My manager told me that in France i can't declare my contribution as
being in the public domain as the french civil code doesn't permit an
author to completely loose all the copyright of a given content (not for
the public domain, which can be reach only after years).
What is possible is to use a very permissive license such as BSD-2
clause license for my work.
Do you think, as it's already done for some of the SSG files copyrighted
by Red-Hat, to set a BSD-2 clause copyright to the Debian/ and Ubuntu/
dir ? Maybe reducing them to the lonely content i write (and not the
whole dir content, which contains files that have also be written by
others) would be better ?
Thanks !
