这里使用LGPL协议为例简单说明一下如何将自己的程序宣告为开源软件
首先确定自己要使用的开源协议,这里选择LGPL(关于其它协议及协议的详细内容,请参考其它资料),
然后确定并准备以下几部分内容:
- 一份版权信息声明文件,一般命名为"NOTICE"
- 一份所使用的协议的副本.
- 如果程序为多个文件构成,则在每个文件中包含文件头信息,声明协议及版权信息
一般来说主要就是由以上几部分组成,下面简单说明一下相关组成部分。
1.首先,对于版权信息声明文件,我们可以写一份文本文档,一般命名为NOTICE, 其中包含版权声明及一些自己想要声明的信息,示例如:
Copyright 1998, 1999 Terry Jones
用于声明软件的发布年份及作者姓名,一般建议分别列出每个年份,不一定需要符号©, 最简单的NOTICE,包含这些内容就可以了。
但是一般建议应该包含以下一些信息:
a) 软件作者联系信息,用于在必要时联系作者
b) 获取软件源码的地址,当发布为二进制时,可以告诉用户在那里可以获得软件的源码。
c) 其它开源组件库的开源协议及源码地址,如果你所分发的软件使用了其它开源产品,则应该同时包含他们的开源协议以及相应的源码地址。
2. 一份软件的使用协议,这里我们使用LGPL(GNU Lesser General Public License)为例说明.
我们需要在(一般为软件所在的根目录下)包含这两个文件:
a) 一份GPL的协议副本,一般命名为COPYING, 你可以从这里获得相关的协议副本
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt
b) 一份LGPL协议副本,一般命名为COPYING.LESSER, 可以从这里获得相关的协议副本
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.txt
如果软件发布在GPL下,则只需要一份GPL协议副本就可以,如果为LGPL则应该同时包含GPL及LGPL两个协议副本。
3.如果程序为多个文件源文件构成,则在每个文件中包含文件头信息,声明协议及版权信息.
