Buildroot added it in 2005 with license info in the file itself https://github.com/buildroot/buildroot/commit/611ec0e3b16219c1987f2aca065ddec22bd84cc9 > > > On Wed, May 25, 2022 at 7:57 PM Martin Jansa via lists.openembedded.org > <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> * as it uses S = "${WORKDIR}" it's another possible reproducer for >> do_patch issue mentioned here: >> https://lists.yoctoproject.org/g/yocto/message/56602 >> >> Signed-off-by: Martin Jansa <[email protected]> >> --- >> .../makedevs/makedevs/COPYING.patch | 346 ------------------ >> .../makedevs/makedevs_1.0.1.bb | 5 +- >> 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 349 deletions(-) >> delete mode 100644 meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs/makedevs/COPYING.patch >> >> diff --git a/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs/makedevs/COPYING.patch >> b/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs/makedevs/COPYING.patch >> deleted file mode 100644 >> index 3a8902b97a..0000000000 >> --- a/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs/makedevs/COPYING.patch >> +++ /dev/null >> @@ -1,346 +0,0 @@ >> -Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [licensing] >> - >> -diff -ruN makedevs-1.0.0-orig/COPYING makedevs-1.0.0/COPYING >> ---- makedevs-1.0.0-orig/COPYING 1970-01-01 08:00:00.000000000 +0800 >> -+++ makedevs-1.0.0/COPYING 2010-12-09 16:42:20.274984665 +0800 >> -@@ -0,0 +1,340 @@ >> -+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE >> -+ Version 2, June 1991 >> -+ >> -+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. >> -+ 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 >> USA >> -+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies >> -+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. >> -+ >> -+ Preamble >> -+ >> -+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your >> -+freedom to share and change it.
