Re: Clarify licensing of examples distributed with source code
I think I have figured out how to change the licensing properties in already existing *.FCStd files.
I have modified boxtest1 and drill_test1 in the Path/PathTests directory in my https://github.com/LarryWoestman/FreeCA ... te_license branch.
Those are the two files which I last touched or created.
Is there anything else that needs to be done before I file a pull request?

All path files can be relicensed. We'll also need to address the toolbit shape files

Re: Clarify licensing of examples distributed with source code
Perfect, thanks for making the GH Issue. That is a thankfully short list of authors, most if not all of whom are still active -- let's also ping them here so that if they are buried in GitHub notifications possibly they will see this topic...

Re: Clarify licensing of examples distributed with source code
If someone who knows more than I do could answer the question I asked about 4 replies earlier, I could file a PR for the two files with my name on them.

Re: Clarify licensing of examples distributed with source code
Happy for any of my contributions to be relicensed.

Go for it, that should have been everything you needed to do, and if not, we'll adjust it in the PR.LarryWoestman wrote: ↑Wed Mar 15, 2023 3:42 pm I could file a PR for the two files with my name on them.

Re: Clarify licensing of examples distributed with source code
I am happy to have my contributions be relicensed.
I have filed PR issue #8899 that changes the license on the two files that have my name associated with them to Creative Commons 4.0. If it is easier to change the license some other way that is fine with me.

If you have time to make a PR that is the easiest, but if you don't I can take care of doing it.
