On more recent versions of setuptools the warning about not being able
to find the files specified in license_files has re-appeared. This is
because as best I can tell, it can't and won't look in $(srctree) but
rather only subdirectories of scripts/dtc/pylibfdt. Since we already
provide both SPDX tags and a license field with the SPDX contents, let
us just drop license_files as it's not mandatory.
IANAL but I believe we need to ship the file, that's part of the license
requirements for both GPL-2.0-or-later and BSD-2-Clause.
I mean, we who? As part of "we should re-examine how we bundle Python
stuff", yes, I don't know if our pylibfdt stuff is at all optimal
anymore and we should maybe we talking with upstream dtc more. But
$(srctree)/Licenses/gpl-2.0.txt and
$(srctree)/Licenses/bsd-2-clause.txt exist and we don't publish the
python binaries.
Yeah I guess it's the last part that matters, as far as I understood
from what you wrote, this means it's essentially only used locally and
never uploaded anywhere for consumption by users, so I believe that
would be fine.
I guess this patch is an ok stop-gap measure?
Cheers,
Quentin
