The Google Code team is
pleased to announce the availability of content licenses for projects hosted on code.google.com. Projects owners may now
select from either the Creative
Commons Attribution license or the Creative Commons Attribution-Share
Alike license to indicate the terms under which their non-source code materials may
be distributed.
While this may seem like a
minor change, it reflects the continued evolution of our mission to support best practices in
open source software development. As the open web increasingly relies on protocols
and formats that reach beyond source code, we encourage authors to apply an explicit copyright
license to the data, documentation, and related media that complements their work.
