Hi, Yannick's proposal remains quite minimal and seems compliable with some "standard". But, does it need to contain the copyright info? That is the main point that keeps hard to maintain: every file with copyright and authorship (and its related issues like collaborations).
So, could this: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-# Copyright 2015 <company or author> # SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3 # For license see __openerp__.py or http://spdx.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0 turn into this?: # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- # SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3 # For authorship and license see: # __openerp__.py and http://spdx.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0 Regarding the license and authorship details: - LICENSE file would include authorship? Or just a LICENSE copy? Otherwise there should be an AUTHOR file to cover authorship (author and contributors) - This LICENSE file... which format should be. I guess plain text (therefore no .rst, no .md). - Does Odoo has any opinion on this? So far, as mentioned, these things have to remain in __openerp__.py to be available for apps.odoo.com (and even so, collaborations are not covered). -- *Alejandro Santana* alejandrosant...@anubia.es · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ANUBÍA, soluciones en la nube, S.L.
