In some cases, a NOTICE.md file will be included, further describing the specifics of project licensing.

Directory-Based Hierarchical Licensing

This project and its respective files and directories contains many license, copyright, trademark, and other legal notices (from here on referred to as NOTICES).

NOTICES can be identified by their file names. They will contain one of the following case-insensitive identifiers:

  • LICENSE
  • NOTICE
  • LEGAL
  • COPYRIGHT
  • TRADEMARK

Any casing combination of the previously listed identifiers can be considered valid as an identifier of NOTICES. There may be other characters in the filename, surrounding the identifier. Further, NOTICES may end with any file extension, including the lack of a file extension.

Therefore a system to interpret their application has been defined, namely Directory-Based Recursive Licensing (from here on referred to as DBRL).

  • Occaisionally NOTICES are included as 'templates' or supplemental resources, and are not intended to apply to the contents of the project they occur within.

    • DBRL does not consider or interpret as applicable NOTICES in:
      • Directories with names beginning with the character . (period).
      • Subdirectories of directories with names beginning with the character . (period).
      • Files with names beginning with the character . (period).
    • Examples of applicable NOTICES:
      • directorya/subdirectory/LICENSE.md
      • LICENSE.txt
      • directorya/COPYRIGHT
    • Examples of non-applicable NOTICES:
      • .directorya/subdirectory/LICENSE.md
      • .LICENSE.txt
      • .directorya/COPYRIGHT

  • NOTICES that are applicable based on the previous scheme, shall be interpreted as applicable in the manner that follows:

    • NOTICES in a directory will apply to all files in that directory, unless their content states otherwise.
    • NOTICES in a directory will apply to all directories in that directory, unless their content states otherwise. This application will continue recursively, EXCEPT
      • if any subdirectory introduces NEW NOTICES. In such a case:
        • the NEW NOTICES shall apply in the manner specified above, for files, directories, and subdirectories recursively in the aforementioned subdirectory.
        • the OLD NOTICES shall no longer apply in the manner specified above, for files, directories, and subdirectories recursively in the aforementioned subdirectory.

Therefore, including NOTICES at the root of a project covers all files and directories in the project, except those with other specified NOTICES.
