My goal is to have a single place where the licenses of the target packages are collected (think of it like export_src for license information - license names and license text). Motivation: - Some packages have additional clauses to the license text (Qt for instances). So it would be a benefit to have the text from the package. - If you deliver binaries of a BSP (preinstalled or for download) some licenses force you to supply the license text with the binary - In some cases non developers need to look over the licenses - AFAIK other build tools (yocto, buildroot) has similar features Hope this helps Markus > Thanks, > > Guillermo > > > 2015-01-29 8:45 GMT+01:00 Markus Niebel <list...@tqsc.de>: >> Am 21.01.2015 um 09:12 schrieb Markus Niebel: >>> From: Markus Niebel <markus.nie...@tq-group.com> >>> >>> just as an RFC: it would be good to have above said features to ease >>> deployment and auditing. >>> >>> First patch implements this feature as an addon of the targetinstall >>> stage.
