[Community] [Insight-developers] Third Party Licences

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello,

ITK's wiki is not well organized or maintained. It's hardly the place to go for updated official Licensing information.

I think it would be quite easy to include the Licensing file marked up in the nightly generated Doxygen as a generated page. Where we will know it's updated each day, and it's automatically made consistent with the repository. Additionally, there doxygen is versioned so people can easily see this information for prior versions.

More work for the future, I don't think the NOTICE file should be manually maintained and updated. I'd like to see a field added to the Module macro to specify the license and/or copyright. Then these can be aggregated into a NOTICE file, with indication of the module which has the additional notice.

Brad
