I was in middle of writing a recipe for a library which I wasn't sure about its licensing. I wondered what if somebody get the licensing incorrect and submit the recipe to open-embedded upstream.
Since Yocto doesn't enforce the presence of license text inside the source code (which would be crippling as not all source codes contains their license), a careless submitter can specify an incorrect license inside the recipe and just set LIC_FILES_CHKSUM to a README file. How such issues is prevented in openembedded (e.g. throughout review of new recipes)? Who is responsible in the cases that license is violated? -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
