Initial commit of license reporting:
This is an intial commit for the license reporting system. A few notes:
The LICENSE fields needs to be standardized throughout poky. As it
stands, we throw a warning if the license file is not found (either
because it does not exist or because LICENSE_FILE_CHKSUM is munged)
in the generic license directory. This should eventually become an
error.
I've seen a few places where Apache-v2.0 is written differently and
I'm sure this will throw the above warning. This does not put the
license data on the rootfs. Also, I provide both the actual license
text and a link to the best guess of the generic_license. That guessing
is not very robust and I'm loath to get into a bunch of pattern matching
rather than standardize LICENSE.
This adds one new param to poky.conf and one new to license.bbclass:
LICENSE_DIR: the base directory we copy all the license results to (set
in license.bbclass)
COMMON_LICENSE_DIR: this is the directory that holds all the common
generic license files. currently meta/files/common-licenses (set in
poky.conf)
TODO:
- We should verify the common-licenses. I stripped these from my Ubuntu
10.10 system.
- We should allow the capability of licenses on the rootfs, although the
resulting image created would be a lot larger.
- More common-licenses. I don't include bzip, zlib, ICS.... I should,
but that means tracking down a lot of licenses.
- General cleanup of licensing and standardization of names. We should
standardize on a naming convention. What's in licenses.conf should
match up with what is in the recipes which should match with what is
in common-licenses. Outside the scope of this though. See:

5 | The "Artistic License" | ||
6 | |||
7 | Preamble | ||
8 | |||
9 | The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a | ||
10 | Package may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some | ||
11 | semblance of artistic control over the development of the package, | ||
12 | while giving the users of the package the right to use and distribute | ||
13 | the Package in a more-or-less customary fashion, plus the right to make | ||
14 | reasonable modifications. | ||
15 | |||
16 | Definitions: | ||
17 | |||
18 | "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the | ||
19 | Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files | ||
20 | created through textual modification. | ||
21 | |||
22 | "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been | ||
23 | modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes | ||
24 | of the Copyright Holder as specified below. | ||
25 | |||
26 | "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or | ||
27 | copyrights for the package. | ||
28 | |||
29 | "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing | ||
30 | this Package. | ||
31 | |||
32 | "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the | ||
33 | basis of media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, | ||
34 | and so on. (You will not be required to justify it to the | ||
35 | Copyright Holder, but only to the computing community at large | ||
36 | as a market that must bear the fee.) | ||
37 | |||
38 | "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item | ||
39 | itself, though there may be fees involved in handling the item. | ||
40 | It also means that recipients of the item may redistribute it | ||
41 | under the same conditions they received it. | ||
42 | |||
43 | 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the | ||
44 | Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you | ||
45 | duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. | ||
46 | |||
47 | 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications | ||
48 | derived from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package | ||
49 | modified in such a way shall still be considered the Standard Version. | ||
50 | |||
51 | 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided | ||
52 | that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and | ||
53 | when you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the | ||
54 | following: | ||
55 | |||
56 | a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them | ||
57 | Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or | ||
58 | an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive | ||
59 | site such as uunet.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include | ||
60 | your modifications in the Standard Version of the Package. | ||
61 | |||
62 | b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization. | ||
63 | |||
64 | c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict | ||
65 | with standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide | ||
66 | a separate manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly | ||
67 | documents how it differs from the Standard Version. | ||
68 | |||
69 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | ||
70 | |||
71 | 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or | ||
72 | executable form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: | ||
73 | |||
74 | a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, | ||
75 | together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where | ||
76 | to get the Standard Version. | ||
77 | |||
78 | b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of | ||
79 | the Package with your modifications. | ||
80 | |||
81 | c) give non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly | ||
82 | document the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), together | ||
83 | with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. | ||
84 | |||
85 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. | ||
86 | |||
87 | 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this | ||
88 | Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this | ||
89 | Package. You may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, | ||
90 | you may distribute this Package in aggregate with other (possibly | ||
91 | commercial) programs as part of a larger (possibly commercial) software | ||
92 | distribution provided that you do not advertise this Package as a | ||
93 | product of your own. You may embed this Package's interpreter within | ||
94 | an executable of yours (by linking); this shall be construed as a mere | ||
95 | form of aggregation, provided that the complete Standard Version of the | ||
96 | interpreter is so embedded. | ||
97 | |||
98 | 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as | ||
99 | output from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall | ||
100 | under the copyright of this Package, but belong to whoever generated | ||
101 | them, and may be sold commercially, and may be aggregated with this | ||
102 | Package. If such scripts or library files are aggregated with this | ||
103 | Package via the so-called "undump" or "unexec" methods of producing a | ||
104 | binary executable image, then distribution of such an image shall | ||
105 | neither be construed as a distribution of this Package nor shall it | ||
106 | fall under the restrictions of Paragraphs 3 and 4, provided that you do | ||
107 | not represent such an executable image as a Standard Version of this | ||
108 | Package. | ||
109 | |||
110 | 7. C subroutines (or comparably compiled subroutines in other | ||
111 | languages) supplied by you and linked into this Package in order to | ||
112 | emulate subroutines and variables of the language defined by this | ||
113 | Package shall not be considered part of this Package, but are the | ||
114 | equivalent of input as in Paragraph 6, provided these subroutines do | ||
115 | not change the language in any way that would cause it to fail the | ||
116 | regression tests for the language. | ||
117 | |||
118 | 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always | ||
119 | permitted provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, | ||
120 | when no overt attempt is made to make this Package's interfaces visible | ||
121 | to the end user of the commercial distribution. Such use shall not be | ||
122 | construed as a distribution of this Package. | ||
123 | |||
124 | 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote | ||
125 | products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. | ||
126 | |||
127 | 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR | ||
128 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED | ||
129 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. | ||
130 | |||
131 | The End | ||
