What would be really cool is if we could do it the same way like Gentoo.
You simply have /usr/portage/licenses/ with all the licenses in the system and you package just say "I am BSD-3c" and same like all other pkgs with the same license point to that one file.
Also funny thing is that some people actually verify the license of the package and if we would suddenly move it I suppose they would be quite suprised.
There was an attempt to do something like that in openSUSE in the past already. I can't remember anymore why it failed though.
I think the legal team wanted the licenses more explicit and really in the package instead of symlinks into the shared licenses RPM. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
