> reuse is a tool for compliance with the REUSE recommendations.
says [their GitHub description](https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool) and
in practice this means having a license header in all files or alternatively
a `file.license` file. The tool can generate these, but I never remember
the commands.
For more detailed explanation, consult [reuse.software/tutorial](https://reuse.software/tutorial/)
---
## Adding headers
Copy-paste and add file name(s) to the end
```bash
# Autodetect how to add comment?
reuse annotate --copyright="Aminda Suomalainen <{{ page.email }}>" --license="CC0-1.0"
# Create a file.license
reuse annotate --copyright="Aminda Suomalainen <{{ page.email }}>" --license="CC0-1.0" --force-dot-license
# The usual # marks a comment
reuse annotate --copyright="Aminda Suomalainen <{{ page.email }}>" --license="CC0-1.0" --style python
```
Note!
- `--year 2023` can be specified if the date isn't this year.
- `annotate` replaces existing headeer if any, to add before it instead, use
`--no-replace`
### Styles
- `c` means `//` marks a comment
- `python` means `#` marks a comment
- `html` and `css` explain themselves
- `tex` means `%` marks a comment
- `vim` means `"` marks a comment
- etc. when `style` is empty, supported ones are displayed, but I am unsure
whether I need more and trying what `reuse` says works too.
## Generic commands
- `reuse download --all` - downloads all licenses found to `LICENSES/`
- `reuse lint` - verifies compliancy
- `reuse supported-licenses | less` - lists supported licenses identifiers
## License identifiers I commonly use
- `CC0-1.0`
- `CC-BY-4.0`
- `CC-BY-ND-4.0`
- `CC-BY-SA-4.0`
- `BSD-3-Clause`
- `EUPL-1.2`
