Hello,
How?
By way of the "git tag" functionality, and the placement of the
numbered version in the Releases/ directory of the source repository.
What is the appropriate permlink to reference when
licensing my creative works under copyleft-next 0.1.0?
Oh, that's a good point, as copyleft-next 0.1.0 doesn't *require* one
to include a copy of the license text in the traditional manner. "You
may Distribute Covered Works, provided that You (i) inform recipients
how they can obtain a copy of this License; ....".
I guess permalinks have been useful for the Apache License 2.0.
Do you have a standard blurb to copy/paste in my source files?
No. I don't like any of the standard license notices used by
relatively mainstream non-tiny FLOSS licenses (GPL/LGPL, Apache
License 2.0, EPL, MPL 1.1/2.0), but I'm also reluctant to recommend
any particular notice (particularly in a "How to Apply" appendix that
becomes part of the license document). Arguably those have served some
minor purpose in the GPL/LGPL and Apache-2.0 universes.
If it were me, I'd just say something simple like
License: copyleft-next
or
License: copyleft-next 0.1.0
or, if I wanted to preclude use of 'Later Versions' without permission,
License: copyleft-next 0.1.0.
NOTE! The only valid version of copyleft-next as far as [PROJECT
NAME] is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license
(i.e. v0.1.0, not v0.1.1 or v1.x.x or whatever), unless explicitly
otherwise stated.
Why does
http://copyleft-next.org/ only say "hello world!"
?
Because it hasn't been updated. However, I would like to do something
with that website.
To be blunt, it doesn't look very released without any of these
things.
When I were a lad, we announced license releases on Usenet newsgroups!
But, congratulations on the release anyway! :)
Thank you.
