The Implementing Ideas for Improving Software Citation and Credit BoF is intended to be a working session to put ideas already generated into action! Everyone in the community has a role in improving it. We have listed a lot of ideas in the previous post about this BoF, have slides online here, and a Google doc to which you can contribute here.
Notes from the BOF:
Kai: Could ASCL provide ideas or hints on how to license software correctly? Peter: There was a workshop on this at the AAS. Oftentimes you're bound by your home institution. Tim: recently this has changed (at least at CalTech), the lawyers said that you could use any license that the funding organization agrees to.
Example of proprietary software in Astronomy: SLALIB is proprietary in Fortran, GPL3 in C (or maybe the other way around?)
