Review patch
[PATCH v1] Sync LICENSE file with Radicle Upstream
Radicle Upstream’s LICENSE file [1] had some improvements that this
repo’s LICENSE file was missing. This change adds those improvements:
- Bump copyright year to 2022.
- Fix capitalization of “Developer Certificate of Origin”.
- Correct location of DCO. Before this change, LICENSE incorrectly said
that the DCO was “below”.

Thanks for bringing this up. I think, however, that we need to get a detail
clarified first: since Monadic GmbH is no longer sponsoring radicle-link
development, maintainers are no longer waiving their copyright automatically
(and contributors neither). That is, the copyright is held 2019-2021 by the
Radicle Foundation, but since 2021 by "The Radicle Link Contributors".
Now, the clause "... released by the Radicle Foundation" for the linking
exception was intended to mean "there is only a linking exception for releases
made by the Radicle Foundation". Ie. if a release is made by someone else, the
license is plain GPLv3 without any exceptions.
As there is no defined process of how the Radicle Foundation would make releases
of radicle-link, I think we should clarify that, most of the time, the Radicle
Linking Exception does not apply.
[PATCH v2 0/2] LICENSE improvements
The first version of this patch was named “[PATCH v1] Sync LICENSE file
with Radicle Upstream”. This new version:
- Introduces the improvements from radicle-upstream#2742 [1]. (This
makes the first commit message a bit misleading because I’m assuming
that that PR will be merged).
- Adds the clarifications that Kim asked for when reviewing the first
version.

Alexis,
do you want to comment on this?
If we want to keep the linking exception, a simple process could be "whatever
release tag is published at https://github.com/radicle-dev/radicle-link
constitutes a release by The Radicle Foundation".
It might however be that the linking exception is becoming obsolete anyway,
because it is possible to build applications which talk to a Radicle (Link) node
over the network (even if that's the local host).
I see two options:
1. Make the linking exception always apply for any code released by the link team
2. Deprecate the linking exception
(1) is more permissive, (2) less so, though as you said there are ways around using link if (2).

Right. So. Which one do you prefer?
The linking exception is currently granted by the foundation, which means that
only the foundation can revoke it (it also doesn't need to ask any
contributors). If the foundation would want to transfer the right to grant the
linking exception to the "link team", we need to define what the "link team" is
and how to verify that the release was made by it.
The strategic significance of the exception was not so much to prevent
proprietary software to be derived from the link code, but to allow software
under open source but non-copyleft licenses to integrate. The only way I could
see this apply in practice is if someone would want to build an (iOS) mobile
app. I'm not sure how much sense this makes, but who knows.
My opinion as a link maintainer is that the link project itself does not have
much interest in the exception.
Let's drop it then. I hereby decree the Radicle Linking exception defunct.

I don’t think so. That commit makes LICENSE read
> radicle-link is Copyright © 2019-2021
> The Radicle Foundation <hello@radicle.foundation >
which is an accurate statement, even if radicle-link is also copyright 2021–
2022 the Radicle Link Contributors. In the first version of the patch [1],
that commit did make it say
> radicle-link is Copyright © 2019-2022
> The Radicle Foundation <hello@radicle.foundation >
but Kim out that that statement was incorrect [2].
Also, don’t worry about being a PITA. You’re doing exactly what I’ve been
doing: finding little issues and helping people fix them.
