Notes
Griffin closed BrowseEverything issue (merging the Pull Request did not close the issue)
Issues for templates probably already exist
Adding contact/info to hydra-pcdm seems pretty actionable
Update
Decide the standard coverage...for hydra-pcdm 254
253: need to find the actual party holding the license
Ben: Tracking down contributors and employers?
Noah: Just find the right copyright statement
Johnson: That work happened under CLA
Copyright clearance shouldn't be the issue, just find who owns it
Sadler: Copyright belongs to "the authors", this is due to the fact that no one can legally give up copyright
Attribute copyright in a meaningful way
Johnson: In some cases, some contributors hold the copyright explicitly, while referencing other authors from the commit log
Armintor: Work for hire issue might become an issue...commit log does not reflect the employer of the authors
Sadler: Perhaps use "various authors, see the commit log", "institutional contributors"
Botimer: We effectively have to offer a copyright statement for the license to be valid
Johnson: Try and use the approach used by Hyrax, defer to Steering
Sadler: This was discussed by Steering at some point in the past
Botimer: Is it reasonable to refer to this as covered by an umbrella?
No copyright granted from the individuals, but as we redistributed this code base...
We have no organization which we can reference
Armintor: Another approach would be to document the places where we have no copyright holder identified;
Can report to Partners about this...perhaps enforce this moving ahead...
If this is work for hire and your employer isn't represented in the copyright statement...pitch it back to the Partners
Sadler: Are we really worried about copyright?
Johnson: We aren't terribly worried...covered pretty clearly by CLAs
Question more about licensing than clearance
Arminor: Is this project being cared for by the entire Samvera organization?
It seems totally acceptable to acknowledge that this is a core component and that the organization needs to get into line with supporting it
Sadler: Don't want to kick it up to Steering or a larger group
Botimer: Come up with some text...acknowledging that we don't have an actual owner
Not interested in proper enforcement or attribution
Prefer that we have something more solid...come up with a way to state something more useful...redistribution should include the copyright notice
Need to have this copyright notice in place, otherwise it will be problematic
Sadler: What is the process for getting prose?
Johnson: #3 should resolve this in the broad case
Not certain that we need the process as we do need someone to assign themselves
Sadler: We should look up the old template from Steering
