Missing Apache Software Lincese 2.0 copy?

ppisar opened this issue · comments

HTTP-Message-6.17 distribution added CONTRIBUTING.md file that is based on an Apache Software License 2.0 (ASL 2.0) licensed work ("This file was adapted from an initial CONTRIBUTING.mkdn file from David Golden under the terms of the Apache 2 license").

I believe that 4a section of the license require that any derivative work must provide copy of the license. However I cannot see any such file in the distribution.

I hereby allow any CONTRIBUTING.mkdn file from any github.com/dagolden repo to be licensed under the terms of CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/)

@ppisar Given the above consent of the author, I will alter the verbiage at the bottom of the CONTRIBUTING.md to show that we're adapting his original work under the terms of CC0. Would that satisfy all concerns?

Thank you both for pointing this out. The altered file is now in master and will be in a release very soon.

https://metacpan.org/release/OALDERS/HTTP-Message-6.18 has been released with the fixed wording on the contributing document. Thanks everyone!
