Specializing BIPM copyright statement per-document about bipm-si-brochure HOT 2 CLOSED

Clarification sought, response ETA after 2020-01-05.

Issue 1: the current “Copyright statement” contains the title of the document. While it would not be difficult to adopt the original wording, we were thinking that the same copyright statement should also be automatically applied to the other BIPM documents (Appendix 2 documents, MEPs, etc).

There are a few options:

a) Adopt a “per-document” copyright statement, where the copyright statement contains the title of the document.

"La Brochure sur le SI est distribuée selon les termes et conditions de la licence Creative Commons …”
…

There is an issue because “La Brochure sur le SI” does not match with the actual primary title of the document, which is "Le Système international d’unités”. Moreover, the challenge here is that we cannot just insert the title of the document, because in French we don't know what the gender of the document title is ("La brochure sur le SI", but "Le rapport”).

b) Adopt a “per document type” copyright statement, where we have a fixed set of document types.

i.e.
"La Brochure est distribuée selon les termes et conditions de la licence Creative Commons …”
"Le Rapport est distribuée selon les termes et conditions de la licence Creative Commons …”
…

c) Adopt a generic copyright statement that applies across all document types.

i.e.
“Ce document est distribuée selon les termes et conditions de la licence Creative Commons …”

Q: Which option is best?

From BIPM:

Your argument under (a) that “La Brochure sur le SI“ does not match with the title of the document is a good one. I think that the generic copyright statement, option c) is indeed the best solution.

They have accepted our proposal, so closing.
