These are draft policies up +for discussion, not final versions. + + +Abstract +======== + + +Motivation +========== + + +Specification +============= + +Purpose / Scope +--------------- + +This policy documents how Gentoo contributors comply and document +copyright for any contributions made to Gentoo. Anyone committing +documentation or sources to any repository hosted on Gentoo +infrastructure must comply with this policy. + +Questions regarding this policy should be directed to the trustees or +the -project list. Any concerns over possible copyright violations +should be directed to the Trustees if they cannot be worked out to +anyone's satisfaction with the appropriate maintainer. + + +Licensing of Gentoo Projects +---------------------------- + +Every Gentoo project must abide by the Gentoo Social Contract +[#SOCIAL-CONTRACT]_ and release its work under one or more of the +following: + +a) The GNU General Public License, version 2 or later (GPL-2+) + [#GPL-2]_. + +b) The Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License + (CC-BY-SA-3.0, only for documentation) [#CC-BY-SA-3.0]_. + *[Note: or version 4.0, to be decided]* + +c) A license approved as GPL compatible by the Free Software + Foundation [#GPL-COMPAT]_. + +Exceptions for other free software licenses will be granted by the +Gentoo Foundation on a case by case basis. + +For easy reference, the license for each project should be documented +on the wiki page at [#PROJECTS]_. + + +Certificate of Origin +--------------------- + +All commits to Gentoo-hosted repositories shall be accompanied by a +certificate of origin. The purpose of the certificate is to declare +that the contribution can be modified and redistributed in accordance +with the project's license. + +For commits made using a VCS, the committer shall certify agreement +to the Gentoo DCO by adding ``Signed-off-by: Name `` to the +commit message as a separate line. + +The following is the current Gentoo DCO 1.0:: + + Gentoo Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.0 + + By making a contribution to this project, I certify that: + + (a) The contribution was created in whole or in part by me, and I have + the right to submit it under the free software license indicated + in the file; or + + (b) The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best + of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate free software + license, and I have the right under that license to submit that + work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by + me, under the same free software license (unless I am permitted + to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or + + (c) The contribution is a license text (or a file of similar nature), + and verbatim distribution is allowed; or + + (d) The contribution was provided directly to me by some other person + who certified (a), (b), (c), or (d), and I have not modified it. + + I understand and agree that this project and the contribution are + public and that a record of the contribution (including all personal + information I submit with it, including my sign-off) is maintained + indefinitely and may be redistributed consistent with this project or + the free software license(s) involved. + +The Gentoo DCO is licensed under a Creative Commons +Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License [#CC-BY-SA-3.0]_. +It is based on the Linux Kernel DCO [#OSDL-DCO]_, released by Open +Source Development Labs, Inc. in 2005 under a CC-BY-SA-2.5 License, +and distributed by the Linux Foundation as part of the kernel source +tree [#SUBMITTING-PATCHES]_ under GPL-2. + + +Copyright Attribution +--------------------- + +All files hosted by Gentoo must contain an appropriate copyright +notice, as defined by this policy. + +A proper copyright notice appears near the top of the file, and reads, +``Copyright YEAR LARGEST-CONTRIBUTOR and others (see below).`` +The largest contributor is whatever entity owns copyright to some +portion of the largest number of lines in the file. The ``and others +(see below)`` text may be omitted if the largest contributor holds +copyright to the entire file. + +If there are other copyright holders, then somewhere in the file the +full list of copyright holders must be listed, or a reference to a +list in another file stored in a Gentoo repository. + +No file may be committed to a Gentoo repository unless at least 60% of +the lines in the file are accounted for in the list of copyright +holders. Any content already in a Gentoo repository as of DATE shall +count towards the 60% rule even if not attributed. Note that 60% is +the minimum required for compliance with this policy - all +contributors are strongly encouraged to strive for 100% attribution. + +It is the responsibility of anyone making a commit to update the +contributor list for any additions made to the repository. Committers +are not required to double-check content already in the repository. + +Anyone finding a file out of compliance should log a bug against the +associated project/package providing as much information as possible. +Files that are not brought into compliance within 60 days or upon a +request for removal by a aggrieved copyright holder will be removed. +Any concerns not addressed by a maintainer can be appealed to the +Trustees. + + +Licensing to the Gentoo Foundation +---------------------------------- + +All are welcome and encouraged (but NOT required) to assign copyright +for their contributions to the Gentoo Foundation. Doing so makes +compliance with this policy easier (fewer copyright holders to list), +and allows the Foundation to enforce copyrights and re-license content +if appropriate (this will only be done in accordance with the social +contract and the FLA). + +Copyright is assigned to the Foundation by electronically signing the +Gentoo Fiduciary License Agreement (FLA) [#FLA]_. + +The agreement may be signed BY **TODO...** If the scope of the signed +agreement included future contributions, the contributor may document +their wish to stop assigning copyright by **TODO...** + +A list of those who have signed this agreement and the scope of their +assignments may be found at **LINK**. This list may be useful when +attributing copyright. + + +Rationale +========= + + +References +========== + +..
