Re: [incubation] Handling Copyright Headers in Model Examples and Librar

["Alois Z." <alois.zoitl@xxxxxx>]

In order to get us a file header I experimented with our model. Please find attached a version where I tried to apply the file header elements to existing model elements in our model.

 

Would this be a way to got?

 

If yes it would have the great advantage that it does not need changes to the model format defined in IEC 61499-2 and that different IEC 61499 IDEs like Eclipse 4diac-ide would show the infromation to the user of the model element.

Correct. You still need a file header.

Mike,

 

you are right this is not directyl what I needed to know. But it is still a very intersting response. We'll have to dig deeper what would be the best license for our examples and the library.

 

But even using EDL we will to do some copyright header like thing, wouldn't we?

In Eclipse 4diac we have a library of model elements and application examples to help our users getting started with 4diac. The models are stored in a dedicated XML format. This would allow to just add the classic Eclipse copyright header as XML comment.

The problem that I now see is that when the model is loaded in 4diac and stored again this header is currently not preserved. So using that approach for the copyright header is quite cumbersome. Adding code to handle this would be quite challenging I think.

The model we are using has dedicated fields for comments, which are intended for describing the model and also a version entry. These could be used to add copyright notices. Especially the latter seams suitable.

Is there a best practice for such a use case? What are experiences of other projects?

Alois,

Probably not the answer that you are looking for, but are you aware that you are allowed to license your build scripts and examples under the BSD (also known as the Eclipse Distribution License 1.0) without requiring any further approvals? I would consider that a best practice, as it makes it clear that your examples could be used as the starting point for a product or application without any copyleft implications from the EPL.
