https://open.inf.is/license has answered 404 for as long as packages
have pointed at it. Every published package carries the header

an MIT-style license that can be found in the LICENSE file at
https://open.inf.is/license

and head.liquid asserts the same URL in the front page's JSON-LD. The
root LICENSE/ directory that used to back it was removed in f08a522,
deliberately — that commit moved the project to licensing each directory
where it stands and rewrote the README to say so. So this restores the
URL without restoring the model it replaced.

What the page serves

The MIT license the OpenINF SDK is published under, taken from the SDK's
own LICENSE. The permission, conditions and warranty paragraphs are
word for word, which is why the page shows straight quotes around
"Software" and "AS IS" and writes (c) rather than © — a license
page that quietly retypesets the text it is reproducing is not
reproducing it. The all-caps warranty paragraph is kept for the same
reason; it is the license's own text, not a styling choice.

The copyright line is the one deliberate departure:

Copyright (c) The OpenINF Authors

The SDK's file says 2021. A year dates the notice rather than the
rights, and it is the part of a license file that goes stale on its own,
so it is left off here. The two differ in that one word until the SDK's
LICENSE is changed to match.

A second short section says where the terms for written material live —
the style handbook is share-alike, the rest of the documentation
share-alike and non-commercial — since each documentation page already
states its own at the foot, and a reader arriving from one should not
read the MIT text as covering it.

Layout and links

deep-page, which gives the page the documentation typography and a
Home breadcrumb with its BreadcrumbList JSON-LD, and needs no new
CSS. /license 301s to /license/ the way /about and /docs already
do, so the URL in the package headers resolves.

The handbook link points at /docs/#handbook rather than
/docs/handbook/: no page is served at the latter, which is the case
the breadcrumb filter's comment already calls out, and
_data/sections.json names the anchor as where the handbook lives.

The footer

One line, and the only change outside the new page. A license page
reachable only from a package header is published in name alone, and a
copyright notice is where a reader already looks for one. The link takes
the color of the small print it sits in so it reads as part of that
line rather than as a call to action. Easy to drop if you would rather
the footer stayed a single sentence.

Checked

  • nps test — all verify tasks pass. The three vNu warnings in the
    output are pre-existing (/news/, /docs/dev/internals/security/,
    /docs/code-of-conduct/) and untouched here.
  • The reproduced text diffed word for word against the SDK's LICENSE:
    170 words against 169, differing only in the dropped 2021.
  • Rendered in light and dark; both match, the site having one palette.

Fixes: #1540

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a License page documenting software and documentation licensing terms.
    • Added a License link to the site footer.
  • Style
    • Updated footer link styling to match the footer text color while retaining underlines.

Every published package carries a header naming
https://open.inf.is/license as the place to read its terms, and that
URL has answered 404 since f08a522 removed the root `LICENSE/`
directory in favor of licensing each directory where it stands.

The page serves the MIT license the OpenINF SDK is published under,
reproduced word for word from the SDK's own file down to the straight
quotes and the `(c)`, and then says where the terms for written
material live: the handbook is share-alike, the rest of the
documentation share-alike and non-commercial, each stated at the foot
of the page it applies to.

The footer links it. A license page reachable only from a package
header is published in name alone, and the copyright line is where a
reader already looks for one.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The site now provides a /license/ page with MIT licensing terms and documentation licensing details. The footer links to the page, and footer links inherit the footer text color while remaining underlined.

Changes

License publication

Layer / File(s) Summary
License page content
collections/_pages/license.html
The new page defines metadata, includes the MIT License text, and documents separate Creative Commons licenses for written materials.
Footer link styling and integration
_includes/footer.liquid, _assets/styles/_custom.scss
The footer links to /license/. Footer links inherit the surrounding text color and remain underlined.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1b1ac

The new license page omits the 2021 copyright year still present in the SDK license, so readers may see inconsistent notices; the PR remains mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to align the documents.

Comment thread collections/_pages/license.html
Comment thread collections/_pages/license.html Outdated
The page description ran two constructions together -- "the license
OpenINF software is published under" and "the header names this page
as the place to read it" -- joined by a "which" that belonged to
neither. It goes out as the page's `<meta name='description'>`, so it
is read by people who have not seen the page yet.

It now names the two things the page holds, in the shape the other
page descriptions use: a noun phrase rather than a sentence.

A year in a copyright notice dates the notice rather than the rights,
and the rights do not lapse for want of one. Leaving it out also means
the line does not go stale on its own, which a year in a file nobody
edits eventually does.

The SDK's own `LICENSE` still carries 2021, so the two differ until
that one is changed to match.

Keep the published MIT notice consistent with the SDK license.

Line 16 omits the 2021 copyright year that remains in the SDK LICENSE. Package headers point readers to this page, so the two license notices currently disagree. Restore the year here, or update the SDK license and package headers together.
