Copyright/fork/license statements in Kallithea source code

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

Hi Bradley, all,

I would like to inquire about the rules regarding the
copyright/fork/license statements in Kallithea source code. Most files
contain something of the form:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
[GPL license text]
"""
[Python module name]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[description]

This file was forked by the Kallithea project in July 2014.
Original author and date, and relevant copyright and licensing
information is below:
:created_on: May 7, 2012
:author: marcink
:copyright: (c) 2013 RhodeCode GmbH, and others.
:license: GPLv3, see LICENSE.md for more details.
"""


My questions are now:
- how should this look like for new files?
- what should happen when existing code is moved towards such a 'new'
file which previously contained only original-Kallithea (i.e.
non-RhodeCode originating) code?

For the second point, I think it is fragile to rely on individual
contributors/reviewers to be fully aware of that move of copyrighted
code and the need to add it in the new file, possibly with slightly
different wording.


Thanks,
Thomas
