So how would you mark this as a package that contains an exception?

I got this distinction from what may be a bad place, but it was Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses). I have heard people refer to NewBSD, FreeBSD, and BSD around my work. I was setting these to make it clear which version of the BSD the license was. > > > > > diff --git a/recipes/tinylogin/tinylogin_1.4.bb > b/recipes/tinylogin/tinylogin_1.4.bb > > index 40171ff..730012b 100644 > > --- a/recipes/tinylogin/tinylogin_1.4.bb > > +++ b/recipes/tinylogin/tinylogin_1.4.bb > > @@ -4,7 +4,7 @@ changing passwords, and otherwise maintaining users \ > > and groups on an embedded system." > > HOMEPAGE = "http://tinylogin.busybox.net/"; > > SECTION = "base" > > -LICENSE = "GPLv2" > > +LICENSE = "GPLv2/NewBSD" > > please don't use a '/'.

Perhaps this should be "GPLv2+NewBSD"? > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-devel mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel _______________________________________________ Openembedded-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-devel
