Subject: [LTP] [RFC] Reduce LICENCE/COPYING files
Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 15:00:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YLeA8KOphpVg3IDP@pevik> (raw)
Hi,
We have various files which states GPL v2. I guess the reason is that LTP merged
various other smaller testsuites in the past.

The diff is mostly different FSF address.
COPYING has been updated in 945f9c69a, others are older; not sure if it's
lastest GPL v2 version.
testcases/kernel/hotplug/{cpu_hotplug,memory_hotplug}/COPYING mention:
"These tests are OSDL/LF and imported into LTP under GPLv2."
testcases/open_posix_testsuite/COPYING has extra BSD 2-clause license + other
test at the top:
All sourcecode generated from scratch by Ngie Cooper is BSD 2-clause
licensed. All legacy openposix test suite code is GPLv2+ licensed.
You must honor the respective license when copying code.
BSD 2-clause license:
...
I suppose it's safe to keep only single licence in testcases/open_posix_testsuite/,
but could we keep only COPYING in the root directory and delete the rest?
Or keep COPYING and testcases/open_posix_testsuite/COPYING only?
Kind regards,
Petr
