-Remora is going to be under the MPL/LGPL/GPL Tri-license (the standard mozilla.org license for Mozilla code.)
+[[Update:Remora|&laquo; Back to Update:Remora]]
-For files that already have a license (eg. Cake, simpletest, scriptalicious, etc.) do not change the license.
+= Summary =
+* For any new files you create, add the license header as described below.
+* Whenever you edit a file under the tri-license, add yourself to the contributors list.
-For new files, whack the tri-license boilerplate on it:
+= Files that already have a license =
-* For most of the files, c multiline commentes are the way to go (php, thtml, etc.), [http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/boilerplate-1.1/mpl-tri-license-c here's the boilerplate].
+* Files that already have a license should retain that license.
-* For the l10n messages.po files, I don't think multiline comments are acceptable, so use [http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/boilerplate-1.1/mpl-tri-license-sh this style] instead.
-The Original Code is "addons.mozilla.org site"
+= Files we create =
-The year is 2006 in case you just crawled out from under a rock.
+* New files go under the MPL/LGPL/GPL Tri-license: [https://www.mozilla.org/MPL/headers/ here's the boilerplate].
-The rest should be self-explanatory.
+= Filling in the blanks =
+* '''Initial Developer:'''
+** For Mozilla employees and contractors:
+ ...
+ * The Initial Developer of the Original Code is The Mozilla Foundation.
+ ...
+ * Contributor(s):
+ *   Employee Name <user@domain.com> (Original Author)
+ ...
+** For others:
+ The Initial Developer of the Original Code is User Name <user@domain.com>.
+* '''Original Code:'''
+ The Original Code is "addons.mozilla.org site"<br>
+* '''Copyright Year:''' 2006
-I (Cameron) am going to be going through all files that are currently checked in that have not been licensed and throwing the header at them. For any new files you create, please add this license yourself, and whenever you edit a file under the tri-license, add yourself to the contributors list.
+The rest should be self-explanatory.  Update this page if there is any ambiguity that needs fixing.
-A list of directories for me to work in would be much appreciated.
+= Licensing Todo/further investigation list =
+Cameron will be going through all files that are currently checked in that have not been licensed and throwing the header at them.
-= Licensing Todo/further investigation list =
 * services/ - stuff from v2 that's not licensed, and Lars' migration script (need to get confirmation from Lars on which email to use.)
 * site/app/controllers/components - From v1 I think.
