        Software Licenses/Acknowledgements 10m

        In preparing for the end of the project, the Project Office would like to make sure that code developed within the project or code improved via the project has proper copyright notices/acknowledgements attached. Please see the guidelines from Steven on what software should be marked. Please identify what software should be subject to the copyright/acknowledgement policy.

        "Test" for identifying software packages from Steven Newhouse

        If there is a package that originated from outside EGEE, but that we have subsequently contributed to, there should (minimally) be a clear acknowledgement that the EGEE-III project has contributed to the work - by paying individuals or their institutions - and that this work was funded by the EC and by including the grant number. I could see this as being a 2 line acknowledgement in each source code file.

        Again for a package that we have contributed to as a (minor) partner, ideally the license that the code is realised under should be as aligned with the EGEE Apache 2 license. This will make it easier for us to manage distributions of code - but this is not something we could demand... but ask nicely!

        In these cases we are not trying to grab ownership - just recognition.

        Where EGEE has been the clear driver behind the development of the package then standard boilerplate text of license and copyright should appear.

        For something like Taverna where our focus has been on a plugin then those source code files should be clearly identified.

        Acknowledgement Text

        This work has been partially funded by the EU Commission (contract INFSO-RI-222667) under the EGEE-III collaboration (See http://www.eu-egee.org/partners/).

        RESPECT 10m
      • There is a pending issue to evaluate the inclusion of the Dashboard tool. According to our previous meeting, SC members wanted to have more time to take closer look at this and potentially evaluate the exploitation of this tool by their community. For more information on the tool check: http://dashboard.cern.ch/
      • A new software has been brought to our attention by Bob Jones. The software is called DiGS and is used by the UK’s QCD groups and originally supported by gridPP. Are you aware of this? Do you think it would be interesting for one or more of our communities?
