Subject: [PATCH 0/2][V2] License compliance fixes
Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2014 22:08:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1405542583.git.ross.burton@intel.com> (raw)

Hi,

If INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE=GPLv3.0 but the recipe sets LICENSE=GPLv3, the current
code won't trigger because they're different strings.

Fix this by attempting to canonicalise every license name to a SPDX name, so
both names in this example become GPL-3.0.

The whitelists also have to be updated.  This means using variable names that
could be considered non-standard (or "crazy"), such as WHITELIST_GPL-3.0.  This
does look strange and if the community agrees we can take the compatibility hit
I'll change the whitelists to use flags, i.e HOSTTOOLS_WHITELIST[GPL-3.0].

Ross
