Thomas, very nice point, asking people to clarify that this goes under CC0
is really important.

There is another point, anyway: the collection of the metadata in
opam-repository is technically a Database, which is subject to a "sui
generis" right in Europe, preventing unauthorised copy (so, in principle,
even the simple act of cloning opam-repository is a violation).
To solve this issue, it would be very nice that OcamlPro clearly states the
licence covering the collection of the metadata contained in
opam-repository.

One could also use CC0 for opam-repositoery, evne if some could suggest to
use the http://opendatacommons.org/licenses/odbl/ which is specific to
databases, even if kind of overkill (it also has a "share-alike" proviso).

Roberto,

databases, even if kind of overkill (it also has a "share-alike" proviso).

This is an important point to make so that OcamlPro is fully aware of
it. However, CC0 explicitely waives database rights as well as copyright
(article 1, point vi). So I think OcamlPro does not need to do anything
more than put a LICENSE file specifying that CC0 covers everthing is
this repository. Being even more explicit cannot hurt, though.

Quick summary of what we are missing:

  • @garth has added a 1-character patch (130dccd)
  • @psnively has added 3 1-line patches (1dc1170, bbcae97 and c1e0ab5)
  • I cannot join @vmonfort but I think it's not a problem as he has done its contributions (one javalib and sawja) while he was working at INRIA so I think it's fine

I think we are ready to do the move, now!
