Adopting repos

Section titled “Adopting repos”

The adoption copy command copies CVSM’s files into your repo but leaves out CVSM’s LICENSE. Apache-2.0 §4(a) asks anyone who redistributes the files to give recipients a copy of the licence.

So if your repo is published or shared, keep a copy of CVSM’s licence with the copied files, for example as .github/CVSM-LICENSE:

Terminal window
cp <cvsm clone>/LICENSE <your repo>/.github/CVSM-LICENSE

That name doesn’t clash with your project’s own LICENSE, and .github/** is already in guard’s layout. Your project keeps its own licence.
