Copyright/License Policy

• The copyright line does not assign the copyright to Hyperledger. Original contributors maintain the copyright. Hyperledger Charter Section 13.A discusses how this works
• Apache License template has the first line being a copyright line - this is used for attribution. We like to have a copyright notice in the file so that if the file is taken out of the repo to be re-used, it remains with the file, unlike a NOTICE file. Recommend attribution line at the top of the file.
• Recommend that we take this through the legal committee
• For legal committee: Is there a best practice for referencing a LICENSES file in lieu of the copyright notification at the top of a source file?
• Hyperledger is not a legal entity. The legal entity is The Linux Foundation.
