[administrivia] Recent change in moderation for new subscribers
by Jeremy Stanley 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Due to a spammer subscribing to legal-discuss earlier today in order to send off-topic messages to the list, I've altered the default behavior for posts from new subscribers. For now, if someone subscribes, their initial post to the list will be held for moderation in order for our moderators to make sure it's a legitimate post, before setting their subscription to bypass moderation for any subsequent posts they make. Note that this only affects new subscriptions as of now, anyone who has already subscribed to the list before now should see no change in how things work for them. As for the spam to the list today, I've blocked that subscriber from sending any new messages and deleted their off-topic posts from the public archive. Please let me know if you have any questions. -- Jeremy Stanley

Apache license header in Puppet manifests
by Francesco Di Nucci 06 Mar '25

06 Mar '25

Hi all, the PR 943232 to puppet-horizon led to an interesting IRC discussion with Takashi and Tobias about the (not) usage of the Apache license header in Puppet manifests. Actually the OpenStack puppet-* modules have the LICENSE file and almost all the Puppet manifests do NOT have an header on top to state the license. On one hand Apache license help <https://www.apache.org/legal/apply-license.html#new> states that "Each original source document (code and documentation, but not the LICENSE and NOTICE files) should include a short license header at the top"; on the other hand a lot of Puppet modules on the Forge seems to not use it (including Puppetlabs' and Puppet's). Are we missing something in interpreting the license or should we add the license header on top of all files? Thanks in advance -- Francesco Di Nucci System Administrator Compute & Networking Service, INFN Naples Email:francesco.dinucci@na.infn.it
