How are community managers and communities allowed to leverage and use the Discourse CoC for their communities? Is this under a creative commons or something? What are the usage rights?

Discussion here as well: Update code-of-conduct.md by aabowen · Pull Request #4892 · discourse/discourse · GitHub

Our CoC: discourse/docs/code-of-conduct.md at 5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785 · discourse/discourse · GitHub Is adapted from the version 1.4, CoC The text is pretty much exactly the same as https://www.contributor-covenant.org/it/version/1/4/code-of-conduct/ except that we added our email. The Contributor Covenant is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License, which requires that attribution be included. (which we do)

So what do you mean by “attribution”? Can you be specific on what needs to be included? Thanks.

Does this suffice? “This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Discourse Code of Conduct available at discourse/docs/code-of-conduct.md at 5dbd6a304bed5400be481d71061d3e3ebb4d6785 · discourse/discourse · GitHub. and based on The Contributor Covenant version 1.4. It is released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License”

Ah you’re suggesting I just use theirs which is: This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage], version 1.4, available at [https://www.contributor-covenant.org/it/version/1/4/code-of-conduct/][version] I guess I don’t know how much you added/changed from their original. So, since you edited/added to their CoC, and I’m wanting to edit/add to yours - I thought perhaps I’d need to attribute you, not Contributor Covenant?

I asked on twitter: https://twitter.com/CoralineAda/status/869625618614374402 https://twitter.com/CoralineAda/status/869625766887247872 This is the only difference we have between the original and ours: sam@ubuntu docs % diff code_of_conduct.md code-of-conduct.md 58c58 reported by contacting the project team at team@discourse.org. All We replaced [INSERT EMAIL ADDRESS] with team@discourse.org, I do not see why I need to include an extra clause in our code of conduct cause we made that change to license that.

Ok, great! Thanks for you help. I didn’t realize that was all you updated. Just wanted to confirm and make sure I’m giving credit where credit is due. I think I will still give Discourse a nod, because I found the Contributor Covenant from you! Thanks team. :slight_smile:

I don’t know that we needed to bug someone on Twitter over a single email address? But I guess that is clear now…

Yeah, as mentioned I didn’t realize all you changed was the email address. I like to be 100% clear and certain with things like this, and wanted to make sure Discourse didn’t need attribution… Appreciate the help and apologies for any inconvenience!

Wait, if you have issues with the copy of http://contributor-covenant.org/ why not raise it with them? I don’t want to diverge our copy from the original.
