Please point me to some definite guideline which packages need their license included and how the package license file should be associated with a given package or file.
Previously it was discussed to have a single copy of the various license texts we can refer to. Now that package licenses follow SPDX why not have a mandatory installed SPDX-licenses package that has the textual forms?
I believe it is compliant to create soft links to the documents you mention in package-specific documentation directories. However, I think it is not worth the trouble.
I will _not_ start adding copies of all relevant licenses to all sub-packages of my packages. Unless explicitely told by legal.
What can I say? When you are contacted by a lawyer, it is usually too late because the damage has been done :-( Not to mention that if we wish to promote free software, the first step is to be compliant ourselves :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
