Hi All,

Just found that some packages included in openbmc have license conflict issues between OpenSSL and GPL

Ipmitool package and krb5 package are both linked to openssl and other GPL libs.

Based on the discussion in https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/05/msg00595.html, I think they are conflict licenses.

Just want to know if we need to do something? Such as add an additional license file?

More information:

meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-kernel/ipmitool/ipmitool_1.8.18.bb

LICENSE = "BSD-3-Clause"

DEPENDS = "openssl readline ncurses"

Readline is GPLv3

meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-connectivity/krb5/krb5_1.17.bb:

LICENSE = "MIT"

DEPENDS = "bison-native ncurses util-linux e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-native openssl"

Util-linux is GPLv2

Thanks,

Yong
