Copyright License

Add Copyright License with symbol

Hi,

Do you have a copyright system already applied in the package "doclicense" ?
If not, do you think it would be a good idea to add it?

Kind regards

Can you give me an example what you mean? I don’t quite get it.

Yes, no problem

For example in my reports I add the creative common banner and the logo.
But sometimes I need a very restrictive version like for documents that are not intended for the public and must remain in the prescribed domain.

I would like to see if it is possible to add a more closed type of copyright phrase and an associated logo

I don't know if it is possible because I am far from being an expert in the field of intellectual property.
regards

IANAL.

Licenses: As a Free Software developer and sysadmin, I have an understanding of software licenses. The doclicense package is intended not to invent things and I am not aware of an existing license we could use that does what you asked for. The closes I know from the area of software is https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32214751/what-should-put-in-the-license-field-of-package-json-if-my-code-is-only-for-use.

https://spdx.org/licenses/ could also be worth a look, but I am not aware of a license that covers your use case.

On a second thought I would say you are not actually looking for a license here. If no license is applied, normal copyright applies which already prevents free sharing of the document (in the jurisdictions that I know of, Germany and USA). Maybe classified information is what you are looking for? But I am not sure if that should still be in scope for the package. A suitable framework would be needed. You would have to do some research and make an proposal how to solve it.
