Although this is correct, this causes the resulting string to be
ill-formatted:

    LGPLv2.1, GPLv2 (tools) , GPLv2 (lua bindings)

In this case, what we did in other such conditions, was:

    LIBUCI_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1, GPLv2 (tools)

    ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LUA_5_1),y)
    LIBUCI_LICENSE := $(LIBUCI_LICENSE), GPLv2 (lua bindings)
    endif

See for example qt or freeswitch.

There are also COPYING and COPYINGv3; both contain the text of the
GPLv3. I'm not sure whether we should carry them or not...

I've looked at a few files, used a few grep-fuu, and they seem to really
consistently refer to either LGPLv3 or GPLv2, which is what you wrote.

So I'd be tempted to agree with you.

We prefer positive logic, which you can achieve with something like:

    ifeq ($(filter shm,$($(call qstrip,$(BR2_PACKAGE_ALSA_LIB_PCM_PLUGINS)))),shm)

As for libuci, this creates an ill-formatted string. Use the same trick
to fix it. ;-)

I think this is somewhat too complicated, what about just doing:

ALSA_LIB_LICENSE = LGPLv2.1+ (library), GPLv2+ (aserver)

However, the code in src/topology/, which can get linked into the
library, seems to be licensed under GPLv2+. This would make the whole
library GPLv2+, no? If that's the case, then the license information
should be updated accordingly.

I've pushed a commit that adds the aserver licensing information (since
it's already better than it is), but it would be good to clarify the
src/topology/ situation.

Thanks,

Thomas

What do you call "core library" and "gnutls-openssl library"?

Do you consider libdane to be that "gnutls-openssl library" you talk
about?

I've looked at the source, and libdane is (at least partially) LGPLv3:

    libdane/errors.c:
    [--SNIP--]
     * libdane is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

    [--SNIP--]

Could you please review the situation and provide a bit more
explanations as to what is what, please?

This is explained in the README file:

"""
Since GnuTLS version 3.1.10, the core library has been released under
the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later.

Note, however, that version 6.0.0 and later of the gmplib library used
by GnuTLS are distributed under a LGPLv3+ or GPLv2+ dual license, and
as such binaries of this library need to adhere to either LGPLv3+ or
GPLv2+ license.

The GNU LGPL applies to the main GnuTLS library, while the
included applications as well as gnutls-openssl 
library are under the GNU GPL version 3.  The gnutls library is 
located in the lib/ and libdane/ directories, while the applications
in src/ and, the gnutls-openssl library is at extra/.
"""

No, see above. libdane is part of the "core library".

This seems to be a bug, which I've reported upstream at

Applied with some changes:

    [Thomas:
     - add comment about the license of the "core library" since some files
       seems to be mistakenly under LGPLv3+ even though the library is
       licensed under LGPLv2.1+.
     - add the README file in the license information, since it contains a
       lot of useful details.]

Thanks!

Thomas
