split up LICENSES

Open shinenelson opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Currently, we have one LICENSES file in the repository that contains the license text for all 3 licenses that we use for the project. This is not ideal and is not machine-readable.

The FSFE REUSE Software website FAQ lists How to properly declare multi-licensing?.

You should always include all licenses in the LICENSES/ directory.

What we need to do is to replace the LICENSES blob with a directory containing the different licenses we have in the project.

We have 3 different kinds of licenses that applies to different parts in the repository :

  • the font itself is licensed under the SIL OFL 1.1 all files contained within the fonts and src/icons/svg directories fall under this license.
  • the auxiliary style-sheets - CSS, Less, SCSS use the MIT license
  • everything else that do not fall under the above 2 categories are licensed under CC-BY-3.0
