Re: preparing to move opencog to public VCS

 

Oh, of course, all files should be copyright tagged.

SIAI-funded work (recent original work by Joel, Gustavo and Senna) should be
Copyright SIAI, and all other work Copyright Novamente LLC. It's best if the
original file authors' names appear in in each file header (can this be
extracted from the VCS?). The license for all work should be AGPLv3.
According to the terms of the AGPL, the full text of this license (plus the
CLASSPATH linking exception) should be included in a file 'LICENSE' in the
root directory; we'll finalize the exact text before release.

The header for the Novamente LLC copyright should look like:

and the SIAI copyright variation:
