From bea891ee29b3e4c07afd530c3025754fb5247e19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2022 01:42:30 +0200 Subject: COPYRIGHTS: clarify licenses more, and add license for new contributions - If new contributions are under CC0 we don't need to state that people also agreed to use CC0 for new contributions. - Before, I forgot to use git commit -a --amend before pushing, so PKGBUILDs went in instead of packages. I'm using packages to enable to add scripts (for instance scripts to check the licenses of the PKGBUILDs) under other licenses. In addition many packages have more files (like .install files for instance) than just PKGBUILDs and patches, and the other packages files are also under the CC0 license.
