REUSE was started by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) to provide a set of recommendations to make licensing your Free Software projects easier. Not only do these recommendations make it easier for you to declare the licenses under which your works are released, but they also make it easier for a computer to understand how your project is licensed. As a short summary, the recommendations are threefold: 1. Choose and provide licenses 2. Add copyright and licensing information to each file 3. Confirm REUSE compliance You are recommended to read our tutorial for a step-by-step guide through these three steps. The FAQ covers basic questions about licensing, copyright, and more complex use cases. Advanced users and integrators will find the full specification helpful. There are other tools that have a lot more features and functionality surrounding the analysis and inspection of copyright and licenses in software projects. The REUSE tool, on the other hand, is solely designed to be a simple tool to assist in compliance with the REUSE recommendations.
