Have you got kids..? Attending PyconUK at the end of this month..? Yup, after the success of last year's education track we're running a new and improved version this year. With five invited speakers, workshops and a "Raspberry Jam" (for kids) on the Sunday we're making sure PyconUK is top-of-the-class when it comes to engaging with the Pythonistas of tomorrow. Alan O'Donohoe has written up a blog post explaining what we have planned here: https://teachcomputing.wordpress.com/2013/09/05/teachers-welcome-at-pyconuk-2013/ If you know a teacher, tell 'em to sign up. If you have kids, bring them along on Sunday (where they can, among other things, learn to program the game-du-jour "Minecraft" with Python). Thanks to Bank of America for their sponsorship of the education track. Spread the word, tell your friends and bring your kids! It'll be awesome. Nicholas. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSKCuOAAoJEP0qBPaYQbb63g4IAI+SlsJ2YkT2ZDenhYrqVIDa MAklHtw+NEv42+2SeQRN1KcF5PXmH3dMwtsA23XrRJpK03ksNXRfge75ynykx7fc osGpqkEUwH+QSvVGwSn3SyVXb25yGP4kUQt5ircnsC9dAO0WArLyr9PrHLDGD7Vu QhFVz+1fEHOwAXY58q4CqD6fMa5f9YvaDpcnDlWOMEWJkJP2ak8qmKNvWmZo2ylm bIb3nTSZj9dd6gH1siwtqe7KNwAuocOF/l1hwvVMMnmGHNvxOesmz3esfMx0uHUf kmz7lhk5t1W9AQKUSvzCkn/IBHZ9UkvOTxMm8n2MwosDGpVYIWvMp5JkbwVIiOA= =Dwns -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- From tartley at tartley.com Mon Sep 9 15:18:10 2013 From: tartley at tartley.com (Jonathan Hartley) Date: Mon, 09 Sep 2013 14:18:10 +0100 Subject: [python-uk] copyright info in source Message-ID: <522DCA92.8020105@tartley.com> A small Python project of mine is apparently being included in Chromium, because I've had a bug report from them that my source files (plural) fail their build-time license checker.

So yes a one liner as Andy has given is all you need, by having your name and year, any reference can be then looked up by anybody who is interested.

Generally, it's easier to script these things, so having a script that blindly adds the copyright header to all python files in the project (assuming there aren't files from other projects) is probably the best solution here.

Sadly, although it would be nice to have a file that says it applies to all files and so be very DRY, this will not work in UK and USA law, possibly also other jurisdictions. The licence statement has to be in each and every individual file since in UK and USA law each file is deemed a separate work. If you check FSF and other FOSS licence places they will set this out as the process because of this problem. Some IDEs even have plugins to sort this out for you! -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder at ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel at winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Whilst you are correct that this has been agreed by case law for books and magazines (the so called moral rights), as far as I am aware there has been no case in the UK that has provided case law for this. Legal advice is always to put an explicit statement of copyright, copyright owner and licence in all files. The issue here is "explicit is better than implicit" (*). The difficulty, at least in UK precedent, is to know the provenance of the content. Has the material been copied via a route that creates a public domain work.

There have been many, many cases of open source projects with valid LICENSE files that turn out to have a couple of files from somewhere else that are not appropriately licensed. I don't know if anyone remembers the mplayer saga on debian-legal, for example. By putting a (c) statement and license summary in every file you are removing the risk from someone who uses your code that they are going to end up in a difficult position later. Google are being reasonable in protecting themselves here. Although getting licensing right is amazingly dull, it is relatively easy if you use a good license just follow the instructions provided with it. FWIW, personally I recommend the Apache License 2.0 as the best license available right now (if you don't care about copylefting), and it has very clear instructions in the appendix: http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 That notice should be included in every file, because each is a potentially independent work.

Do you have a reference for this? As far as I am aware, that statement is simply wrong.

I am not a lawyer but I think I can answer. Much of the wording of clause 7 is explicitly included because the disclaimer of warranty is the most important thing in there to YOU. Anyone who looks at this software will know there is no warranty, and won't be able to claim "oh the apache website was down" or something. Everything else is pretty much a grant to them, so no need to be so obvious about it. The rewording is because the original clause contains Definitions With Initial Capitals Which Are A Part Of A Contract. Without the defined terms earlier on it makes no sense. It also misses out the including, without limitation, bits. That is belt and braces anyhow, so maybe they just wanted to be as terse as possible in the file header. > Presumably the ':::text' boilerplate prefix just an erroneous markup > snafu? yeah looks like it.

Slightly nicer than a push hook IMO because you see it earlier and because it works the same way as all your other automated tests of your code. There was a bit of special code so that you got one failure per coding style violation I think (including one per missing copyright statement), but those are bonus points.

I am not aware of any authority that puts this in case law, so you are right to point out that I am intimating something that is not actually law. However neither am I explicitly wrong. But IANAL so you may know of authorities which make me wrong on this. You are correct that the author of any literary work has moral rights in that work. The copyright always rests with the original author unless explicitly assigned. However in the cases I have been involved with, barristers have chosen not to make any copyright arguments over source files where there was no explicit statement of copyright in the original file. Other issues yes, but not ones of copyright. My comment perhaps implied more that it should, but is founded in pragmatics. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.winder at ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: russel at winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Indeed.

However, if you want to be identified as the author of a work you must explicitly assert that right. If each source file is a separate work then I guess you may need to assert that in every file. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

That works. The reason I suggested a plugin was so that plugin hooks can give the coding style check function the modules (and scripts) on which to operate.

In this area, there's only one choice really: Whitefriars Old Ale House 114-115 Gosford Street Coventry CV15DL There are some adjacent pubs best avoided as they are full of noisy lager-drinking kids, I suggest you bag an upstairs room. It's one of the few remaining mediaeval buildings in Coventry, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitefriars,_Coventry and has a good selection of ales. It does not do food, except that it may have a selection of rolls and sandwiches, but once they're gone, they're gone. But the Oriental Palace, London Road, Coventry CV1 2JP, is not far away from the venue and the Whitefriars, we've used it before and it has a good all-you-can-eat menu. See you tomorrow !

But have used up my brownie points for this month. :'( enjoy. ?its excelent was there for the whole weekend last year. Sent from Galaxy S3 on Three -------- Original message -------- From: Tom Viner Date: To: python-uk at python.org Subject: [python-uk] Trip to Bletchley Park Hi all, A few of us had a discussion at PyconUK about doing a trip to Bletchley Park and the The National Museum of Computing. Saturday, 19 Oct seemed to be the best option. Londoners could meet at Euston Station and others could make their own way. In terms of timing: - Bletchley Park is open from 9.30am to 5.00pm - The Museum of Computing is "Fully open 1-5pm; Colossus and Tunny Galleries open all day" So we could meet at say 10am and get the train there, potentially using this national rail 2 for 1 offer: http://www.daysoutguide.co.uk/bletchley-park-(1) More info: http://www.bletchleypark.org.uk/ http://www.tnmoc.org/ So put it in your calendar and I'll email again a week before with specific meeting times etc. Cheers, Tom @tomviner _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list python-uk at python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Given the amount of interest from Pythonistas at PyconUK about matters educational *I* wanted to make you all aware of this event and possible ways in which you could contribute. I'm sure you remember the wonderful energy that was Sunday's Raspberry Jam (run by Alan) - just think of the Raspbery Jamboree as a meta-jam: a way for teachers, educators, technology professionals, programmers and students to all come together and share, demonstrate and take part in technical educational activities (usually connected with the RaspberryPi). More details here: https://rjamboree14.eventbrite.co.uk/ I'm sure that if you contact Alan directly he'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
