Is there a point to this if license headers are (supposedly) useless?
- steveklabnik 2y agoI think for licenses like the MPL, which are scoped to a single file, including the header makes sense, and isn't particularly onerous: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/headers/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/headers/ I don't put headers in projects that use other licenses.
- codetrotter 2y agoI used to put the ISC license in the header of every file when I first started sharing code online under open source licenses. But eventually I realized that a single LICENSE file is best, instead of having the header in all of the files.
