Hi @MichaelAgarkov apologies for not getting to this sooner. I think either works, it's really up to the licensor to stipulate the acknowledgement. I'm agnostic about what the default should be. If anyone else wants to speak up for why it should be changed to |
IMO "project" implies a group, and "fullname" implies an individual. Either possibility is valid for the attribution, depending on the case, but the former sounds more likely to apply to open source projects, which typically (or hopefully) receive contributions from multiple people. For this reason, I'd favor "project" if we had to pick between the two. That said, if there's a more generic term we could use, it might indeed be worth changing the placeholder to it. |

In the 3rd clause it says:
Instead of the project name, it should say the name of the creator, so it should say [name] or [fullname] instead of [project].
