[mojo-dev] [jira] (MLICENSE-80) Add BSD licenses to the built-ins

[Curtis Rueden (JIRA)]

Curtis Rueden commented on MLICENSE-80 Add BSD licenses to the built-ins Tony, thank you very much for implementing this! I gave it a spin, and it is working quite well. A couple of nitpicks: 1) The BSD-2 license often has a short additional paragraph at the end (beginning with "The views and conclusions..."); see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#2-clause_license_.28.22Simplified_BSD_License.22_or_.22FreeBSD_License.22.29 Our software has this additional clause. But there are other projects (e.g., NetBSD) that do not use it, so I guess license-maven-plugin could just provide two different bsd_2 style license templates. 2) The template puts only the inception year, not the whole copyright year range, at the top. Legally, it is preferred to use the copyright year range, and this is what we do with our software. Would it be difficult to update the template to behave this way? 3) There is no newline at the end of the license file. Actually, that reminds me: other licenses such as gpl_v2 have whitespace issues, too. It would be nice if all licenses: A) had no EOL whitespace; and B) had an EOF newline. Thanks again for your efforts!
