linux/poky.git/meta/files/common-licenses, branch master

The poky repository master branch is no longer being updated.

2025-11-07T13:31:53+00:00

You can either: a) switch to individual clones of bitbake, openembedded-core, meta-yocto and yocto-docs b) use the new bitbake-setup You can find information about either approach in our documentation: https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ Note that "poky" the distro setting is still available in meta-yocto as before and we continue to use and maintain that. Long live Poky! Some further information on the background of this change can be found in: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-architecture/message/2179 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

debianutils: use SPDX SMAIL-GPL licence name

2025-10-27T11:37:42+00:00

Use the SMAIL-GPL license name, as that is the official SPDX name and we now have it in our license list. This means we can delete the SMAIL_GPL license, that appears to be only used by debianutils and nobody else.

common-licenses/OASIS: remove unused license

2025-03-19T11:49:45+00:00

docbook-xsl-stylesheets: Use SPDX identifier

2025-02-05T12:49:55+00:00

common-licences: remove ambiguous "BSD" license

2022-02-07T10:08:59+00:00

Our "BSD" license is the 3-clause BSD license, but many recipes were using "BSD" for any variation of the license. We've mostly moved recipes away from the vague "BSD" license to concrete names such as "BSD-3-Clause", so delete the BSD license to force the remaining users to update their license statements.

2021-09-06T08:49:50+00:00

This removes BSD-0-Clause, Nauman, tcl and vim and adds mappings for them to their SPDX counterparts (0BSD, Naumen, TCL and Vim). It also removes FreeType, which already had a mapping to FTL.
