bastelfreak: I really hope you're scripting this :)

in parts, yes

bastelfreak: I always use hub: hub pr --message "Release $VERSION" --labels skip-changelog

I really like my git ph, git pr and git phr aliases

ph = !git push $(whoami) HEAD --set-upstream --quiet ; pr = !hub pull-request ; phr = !git ph && git pr

ah neat

I use that all the time - you can add -d to hub pull-request to submit a draft PR as well

ewoud: can you recheck https://github.com/voxpupuli/voxpupuli-puppet-lint-plugins/pull/26

and https://github.com/voxpupuli/voxpupuli-puppet-lint-plugins/pull/27

Realistically, what are you actually licensing here?

a list of gems? (each with their own licenses)

mostly a bit of metadata

I doubt a list of (publicly accessible) gems is something you can copyright.

and is there anything else in that project that wasn't just copied from another repo (with a more open license!)

I'm not going to touch the legal aspect ;)

a more restrictive license would be more problematic

it could probably also be something like MIT but honestly, I don't care that much

No, me neither. In this case I'm sure the license is irrelevant. The list of puppet-lint gems we want to use is available without needing access to the gemspec file.

I also suspect that whether you can license a curated list or not will depend on the local law

If you did claim its the list of gems themselves which is only available under the agpl, then its a good job rubygems make all their hosting code opensource or they'd be breaking that license when they published our 'copyrighted' work!? 🙂

Local law is always a complication...

I create my own reverse-puppet-lint-plugins gem which has the exact same list but in reverse alphabetical order. In the UK, is that then covered under https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exceptions-to-copyright#parody-caricature-and-pastiche ? 🙂

Anyway... what else is going on? something something puppet_metadata

I'm trying to clear out my inbox, I saw your PR somewhere in that queue

@Alex Fisher rubygems doesnt use our gem and even if they did, they dont build a product out of it and they dont link (as in: gcc throwing libs together) anythink against it

the license is for the whole gem, which is more than just that one list, but even just a list is a creative work that can by protected by copyright. the content of the list is irrelevant. consider all of the "list of" articles on wikipedia, for example. those are covered by copyright law which gives the ability to apply a license.

can I get a review for https://github.com/voxpupuli/voxpupuli-puppet-lint-plugins/pull/28
