What are appropriate assembly attribute values for an open source (LGPL) project?
- by michielvoo
I have just started working on an open source project. The project is hosted on CodePlex and I work on it in my spare time. What would be appropriate values for the default assembly attributes (listed below)?
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
It surprised me to see the AssemblyCompany and AssemblyCopyright attributes on several projects (on CodePlex as well as Google Code):
xUnit.net
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation")]
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Microsoft Corporation")]
DotNetNuke:
<Assembly: AssemblyCompany("DotNetNuke Corporation")>
<Assembly: AssemblyCopyright("DotNetNuke is copyright 2002-2010 by DotNetNuke Corporation. All Rights Reserved.")>
Moq:
[assembly: AssemblyCompany("Clarius Consulting, Manas Technology Solutions, InSTEDD")]
