Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek	1fe6d37ea5	man: change license of examples to MIT-0 ... Quoting Richard Fontana in [1]: CC0 has been listed by Fedora as a 'good' license for code and content (corresponding to allowed and allowed-content under the new system). We plan to classify CC0 as allowed-content only, so that CC0 would no longer be allowed for code. Over a long period of time a consensus has been building in FOSS that licenses that preclude any form of patent licensing or patent forbearance cannot be considered FOSS. CC0 has a clause that says: "No trademark or patent rights held by Affirmer are waived, abandoned, surrendered, licensed or otherwise affected by this document." (The trademark side of that clause is nonproblematic from a FOSS licensing norms standpoint.) The regular Creative Commons licenses have similar clauses. For the case of our documentation snippets, patent issues do not matter much. But it is always nicer to have a license that is considerred acceptable without any further considerations. So let's change the license to the (now recommended replacement) MIT-0.

Luca Boccassi	f4d74c6105	man: add licenses to all files that lack one ... Documentation is licensed under LGPL-2.1-or-later. Scripts are MIT to facilitate reuse. Examples are relicensed to CC0-1.0 to maximise copy-and-paste for users, with permission from authors.	2021-10-01 17:27:34 +01:00
Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek	787f78b6a1	man: move more examples to stand-alone files and use 2-space indentation consistenty ... Moving them out makes it easier to run them through a compiler, use automatic indentation, and opens the possibility to provide a download link in the future. I verified that all examples compile cleanly. (2-space indentation is used because the examples are already significantly indented in the man page, and we need to keep them narrow so that they display well on standard terminals.)	2018-08-02 15:45:24 +02:00
