Description

We plan to add a license identifier to the Kotlin files to standardize SPDX license declarations across our source files. To achieve it, the current license notice should be removed from the top of all .kt files, and the following line should be added:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later

This will help maintain proper licensing information across our Android codebase.

Happy to provide additional support if needed.

@mhmohona Hello,

As part of standardising SPDX license declarations across the Kotlin files, should we remove only the copyright notice and retain the remaining comment block describing the file's purpose ?

for example,
/**

• Functions for retrieving configuration settings and calculating color based on theme and background preferences.
• SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later
  */

OR

Remove the entire comment block and replace it solely with the SPDX identifier?

for example,
// SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later

Thanks for your question, @janiceferns02! I'd say let's have the license identifier and then the file content doc string under it, so like:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later
/**
Functions for retrieving configuration settings and calculating color based on theme and background preferences.
*/

Would you like to be assigned this issue? Feel free to let us know and then start working on it!
