Hi! I'm trying to adapt REUSE to my projects, but I find the per-file headers to be a bit verbose and uncomfortable to read or write. It seems that, on the spectrum from machine-readable to human-readable, these have landed too far to the former.
I am instead using a modified approach in my projects, which, for example, looks like so:
// License-Id: GPL-3.0-only // Copyright: 2019 Drew DeVault sir@cmpwn.com // Copyright: 2019 Haelwenn (lanodan) Monnier contact@hacktivis.me // Copyright: 2019 Jeff Kaufman jeff.t.kaufman@gmail.com // Copyright: 2019 Nate Dobbins nated@posteo.net // Copyright: 2019 Noah Loomans noah@noahloomans.com // Copyright: 2019 Philip K philip@warpmail.net // Copyright: 2019 Simon Ser contact@emersion.fr // Copyright: 2020 Drew DeVault sir@cmpwn.com // Copyright: 2020 skuzzymiglet skuzzymiglet@gmail.com // Copyright: 2021 Gianluca Arbezzano ciao@gianarb.it // Copyright: 2021 sourque contact@sourque.com
Let's not get ahead of ourselves by prematurely over-namespacing everything. The current license headers read like an SPDX advertisement.
