In .NET, assemblies have their AssemblyInfo.cs file where one can put general descriptive info about the assembly. But, where to explicitly put an (open source) license? I will have a copyright, which is still mine, but how am I supposed to explicitly license via GPL (in this case?)

Here's how I do it for now:

// General Information about an assembly is controlled through the following 
// set of attributes. Change these attribute values to modify the information
// associated with an assembly.

[assembly: AssemblyCompany("marcelsuter.ch")]
[assembly: AssemblyProduct("Replayer")]
[assembly: AssemblyCopyright("(c) 2018 by marcelsuter.ch, GPL-v3 licensed")]
[assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")]
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.6.2")]

This does not seem to fit well, is there a better way to state the license?

  • Are you wrapping your code into a NuGet package? If so, the nuspec file lets you specify a license. – Philip Kendall Feb 15 at 9:19
  • @PhilipKendall No, this is just getting into a .NET executable (.EXE), which can be downloaded from the github repo. – Marcel Feb 15 at 9:40
