Overview
In general, two types of licensing text insertions are needed:
- At the begging of each code file, a license claim block is to be added in the language specific comment format;
- At the root of each repo, a LICENSES.txt file is added to provide umbrella coverage for the repo.
Depends on which charter a repo belongs to, below lists the specific text blocks to be used in different situations.
O-RAN Software Community (Apache 2)
Code File Header Claim
The following text is to be placed as comment at the beginning of each code file, modified for contributor specific copyright statement and language specific comment framing. The example below is for bash/yaml like comment format.

The example below is for C/C++ like comment format.
