&gt;<i> Hi,
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> In the process of releasing mageia-app-db 0.1, we have to fix licensing
</I>&gt;<i>  issues. Could someone help us on that ?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> I never released free software before, so I'd like to know what to do once
</I>&gt;<i>  the licence has been chosen :
</I>&gt;<i> - create a simple LICENSE file at the root of the project ?
</I>&gt;<i> - add a notice in every source file ? (there are lots of them, many
</I>&gt;<i> automatically generated by the framework mechanisms)
</I>&gt;<i> - other ?
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Among the possible licences, there's Gnu Affero GPLv3, which forces anyone

</I>&gt;<i> source code available to users. However, I don't know if this license is
</I>&gt;<i> compatible with our XML-RPC querying sophie.zarb.org when needed (does the
</I>&gt;<i>  Gnu Affero GPLv3 imply that we must also give sophie's source code to
</I>&gt;<i>  users (sophie being a separate project from Olivier Thauvin), and does it
</I>&gt;<i>  imply that sophie should be under the Gnu Affero GPLv3 licence ? I think
</I>&gt;<i>  not but I'd like to be sure.
</I>
usually a file with license is enough

about sophie:
 - usually there's some kind of config file where host or url is put in, you 
release it with example.com and the people deploying the app can then configure 
it.

the important part is that this should be easily forkable, if desired. i would 
suggest GPL compatibility, also, put in a spec file so we can package it.
