Description

Johan Ljunggren (johlju)
opened on Sep 27, 2018

In new repositories that are created by the Microsoft Open Source Team, the LICENSE file does not contain the year in the copyright "header".
I suggest we remove it from the repeating task, and all repositories can remove the year.

https://github.com/PowerShell/DscResources/blob/master/Maintainers.md#license

This is how the MIT license look like in a newly created repository (indentation and all).

    That would be good! No more updating the License every year. I've started to use this new format in my personal resources now.

    Johan Ljunggren (@johlju) Daniel Scott-Raynsford (@PlagueHO) sign me up for this one if you like. 👍
    Do you just want the repeating tasks section done and/or each LICENSE file updated in the resources too?
    Thanks, Tim.

    Awesome! Thanks Tim Haintz (@timhaintz) . We want to add an issue to each resource repo to update the license and then submit a PR to update it. I've done some of the ones I maintain already (cant recall which ones) but many others haven't been done.

    Looking at Maintainers.md, do you want:

    • Change copyright information
    • Module manifest
    • License

    removed? Did you want to store the contents of the MIT License in the Maintainers.md file?

    PR incoming with what I think you're looking for.

    Thanks, Tim.

    Going through my issues history, do I need to do anything else with this on Daniel Scott-Raynsford (@PlagueHO) Johan Ljunggren (@johlju) ?
    Thanks, Tim.

    No worries Johan Ljunggren (@johlju) . Was doing some housekeeping on past issues.
    Thanks, Tim.
