Question

I have a simple question which I could not find digging Google.

I’m moving my project’s documentation from phpDoc to Doxygen, but I don’t know how to write @license and @copyright together.

In my conception, @copyright is designed for my “company” (not real yet :P) name and @license the way of what I’m developing can be used: one of many CreativeCommons combinations, GNU, MIT, BSD, “under license”…

Building on Chris’ answer, you can use the \par command to create a block similar to the built in \copyright command. For example, an alias like:

ALIASES += "license=@par License:\n"

Will allow this comment:

/** My main function.

    \copyright Copyright 2012 Chris Enterprises. All rights reserved.
    \license This project is released under the GNU Public License.
*/
int main(void){
    return 0;
}

to produce this output:

Note that with this solution, a blank line is not required before \license, and that the {} syntax is not required. This is also less likely to cause problems if you attempt to generate documentation for formats other than HTML.
