Adopt REUSE formalization for licenses specification #2015
Description
Just discovered for myself (better later than never) the https://reuse.software/ which formalizes how (software) projects should include license and copyright terms. They even used to support DEP-5 (Debian way) but deprecated. Overall it looks like very handy for
- this repository itself
- other components of BIDS project
- and also to adopt for BIDS datasets since ATM we do not even allow for multiple licenses (and we pretty much need that whenever there is some
code/included) to be specified - we just have License for the dataset.
One route for adoption for BIDS datasets could be
- adopt REUSE.toml
- add its validation to validator
- We could make "License" field really be the one for "data portion of the dataset" and validate that it corresponds to the one in REUSE.toml .
- Formalize OPTIONAL presence of
LICENSES/(ordocs/licenses/per ENH: Add templates.tsv and cohorts.tsv for template/cohort entity metadata #2287 (comment)) folder as the one for REUSE
WDYT?
