Dear all,
Being bored while waiting for a build to finish, I decided to to a
grep for LICENSE on recipes/*/*
As already reported on an earlier email about 375 recipes have no
LICENSE (according to recipe_sanity).
After a little bit of editing and sorting I came to the list at the
end of this email.
First digit is the number a license occurs, 2nd field is the license itself.
Some concerns:
- GPL seems to be the most widely string used, but this does not say
too much. Is this v1, v2, v3, or maybe v1+, v2+, v3+
- Using ${PN} as license string might seem as a nifty way to save
typing a few letters, but it does not help with scripts that process
recipes
- we seem not too consistent wrt spelling wand writing things (for
example: GPLv2, GPLV2, GPL-2, GPL2)
- some of these use licenses that I have never heard of and for some I
have some doubts (e.g "closed" "various" "as-is" "python-style" ...)
BTW: I've no plans to clean this up. I've been there in another world,
and it is boring like hell (and in that world I was at least paid for
it)
Just want to pass the results.
Frans.

This may be a good task to add to the OE janitors page, ideally gathering
together more detailed instructions on the process in a wiki page for the
janitor task. It would be another way someone could contribute who doesn't
know where to begin.

First thoughts in this is we need to standardise on names of licenses.
And for licenses that cannot be named like my personal favourite the
aspell-en recipe some way to indicate a "special" license and furthur
metadata about that license.

Frans,
I've done a similar exercise some time ago and collected this list for my
personal use, when I was fixing licenses for the recipes/packages I'm
interested in. I did fix a number of them already, as well as my fellow
co-workers[1]. I also see you recently took care of many perl-related recipes
yourself.
So far it was in the "scratch the itch" mode - when we see some packages
reporting incorrect or unspecific licenses, we fix them. Hopefully, this way
we can correct the majority of recipes and leave the remainder as a janitorial
work, as Chris suggested...

Actually I think I need to revisit the perl recipes, as it might well
be Artistic | GPLv1+ instead of Artistic | GPL
BUt my major concerns is that there is not really a decent way to
define the remainder. They are not easily identifiable as such.
This makes a janitor having to start from scratch.
Frans.
