Hello,

while looking at the videos and the video-repository, I noticed that we
don't have any license attached to neither the videos nor the sources.

I think we should really add one. For the code I would suggest GPL v3+,
for the voices (currently Paul) and videos I would suggest CC-BY-SA 4.0
[0].

What do you think? Does every contributor agree to that?

That looks good to me.  

For the source code we could add copyright statements at the top of the
files in a similar way to the rest of the Guix code.

Also, would you like to take a look at the CREDITS file and add entries
for the work that you have done?.  The idea is twofold: to acknowledge
the contributions made and also to make the steps more visible. 
Potential future contributors could then say ' hey, I could do that in
my language'.

Best regards,

Paul.

Fine. I will do that. But I would like to see the agreement of the
other contributors. Ricardo, Laura, Gábor: Do you also agree on that?

There were some problems regarding license compatibility. Otherwise I

Any free license is fine by me.  I don’t know what license compatibility
issues Gábor anticipates.

I can't find the older discussions. Which are the problems regarding
license compatibility you see here?

I would like to see this fixed soon, the idea of having source code in
Guix' repositories that is only open-sourced but not free software
annoys me.

Unfortunately I can't find it either, but I remember that this discussed.
Sorry
about not being able to come up with more details.

The two things that came up was:
1. the manual is under GNU FDL, but as long as the videos are not considered
deriving from the manual, this should not be a problem.
2. can the videos have a separate license from the code that they are
critically
dependent on? - believe yes.

So all in all, I believe that the license choices you made make sense, and
iirc
I proposed exactly the same set of licenses on that older thread, which I
will
try to find. It is well possible that it was discussed on irc.

Yes, I agree, it would be great to fix this soon.

Hi Laura,

I pushed a commit to guix-video that added a COPYING file with the GPL
v3 and added copyright/license headers to all source code files.

To assign copyright to people and years, I used the git log plus
knowledge about the work of Laura and Ricardo. Please add/correct if
something is missing or wrong.

I wanted to put all "artistic" work under the CC-license, but wasn't
sure how to do it right. Is it enough to mention the license in the
README? Or do we need to explicitly enumerate all files (mp3, slides,
text transcripts)? I noticed that README would also need a bit clean-up
then. 

I will work on that over the week. If you are faster, don't hesitate to
work on it.

Finally, I noticed we have some .ttf-files and I wanted to check if
they are all free and what there license status is.

Björn

Thank you, great work. I believe Ricardo should also appear in the
Makefile.

Me neither, I used the license for my blog, but it is something different.

I can work on improving the README these days.

Hi all :)

Have just pushed the README file and deleted environment.sh (it's no longer
needed).

Regards!

Thanks. I reformated the README with line-breaks at character 80, then
added a license section and the CC-BY-SA-4.0 International license as a
text file.
