Description
Currently, our projects do not have a designated field to specify their respective licenses. This can lead to confusion and make it harder for contributors and users to understand the licensing terms.
Proposed Solution
I propose adding a new field named license to the project metadata. This field will allow us to clearly state the license under which each project is released.
Benefits
- Clarity: Provides a clear and easily accessible indication of the project's license.
- Compliance: Helps ensure that our projects adhere to licensing requirements.
- User Confidence: Builds trust with users by transparently disclosing licensing information.
Implementation Plan
- Add
license field to the project metadata.
- Update project creation and editing forms to include the license field.
- Ensure validation to only accept valid license names or SPDX identifiers.
Example Usage
name: Project Name
description: A brief description of the project.
license: MIT
Next Steps
Upon approval, we can start implementing this change in our project management system.
