[issue39883] Use BSD0 license for code in docs
New submission from Todd Jennings : Currently using code examples and recipes from the documentation is complicated by the fact that they are all under the Python 2.0 license. Putting them under a more permissive license, particular the BSD0 license, would make them much easier to use in other projects. -- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation messages: 363573 nosy: docs@python, toddrjen priority: normal pull_requests: 18180 severity: normal status: open title: Use BSD0 license for code in docs type: enhancement ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue39883> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue39883] Use BSD0 license for code in docs
Todd Jennings added the comment: Hi Terry, Please take a look at the linked PR. This was already discussed on the python-ideas mailing list and Guido agreed this is a good idea. It is currently waiting on a PSF board decision. Guido requested I create a blurb, and that required a corresponding issue number, so I created this issue. But to answer your question, the problem is incorporating code into an existing project. The whole point of examples and recipes is that they be used in other projects. But keeping them under the Python 2.0 license makes this hard, since it requires all the documentation keep that same license. So you can't use, say, an itertools recipe without keeping a separate license for that code, and some way to identify which code falls under that license. -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue39883> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
