Reorganize non-approved licenses based on inclusion rationale. Align comments to inclusion policy. (This is a comment-only change.)
2018-12-10mk/license.mk: remove ancient commentgdt1-6/+1
Long ago, I floated the notion of runtime controls based on licenses. This seems not useful and is obviously not going to happen, so gc the comment.
2018-12-10mk/license.mk: DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE - add DFSG, clarifygdt1-14/+29
(This is a comment-only change.) Add compliance with Debian Free Software Guidelines as evidenced by inclusion in Debian main as a basis for inclusion in DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES. Clarify that the exclusion of AGPL by TNF board is higher priority than the new DFSG section. Add to the "obviously would be approved as Free" section the notion that a license must also obviously not trigger the AGPL concern. As proposed on tech-pkg, edited based on agc@ comments.

2018-11-30mk/misc: make configuration for show-all targets more configurablerillig1-1/+7
Up to now, there was a central list of variable name patterns that defined whether a variable was printed as a sorted list, as a list or as a single value. Now each variable group decides on its own which of the variables are printed in which way, using the usual glob patterns. This is more flexible since different files sometimes differ in their naming conventions. Two variable groups are added: license (for everything related to LICENSE) and go (for lang/go).
2018-08-10license.mk: Remove duplicate entry I accidentally added.nia1-2/+1

2018-01-07In guess-license, use ninka for determining the licenses.rillig1-3/+13
Ninka can be installed from wip/ninka and analyzes each file individually, thereby providing a much more detailed analysis than the ad-hoc method that only looks at some COPYING files. If Ninka is not installed, the naive fallback continues to be used.
2018-01-05Improved license detection for the guess-license target.rillig1-15/+14
Before, the first file that looked like a license file was considered. The others were completely ignored. This led to a wrong license for cross/arm-none-eabi-gcc. To prevent these cases in the future, the license is only guessed if there is exactly one file with a typical license name. This approach is still naive, but at least a little more precise. Replacing the guess-license with a determine-licenses is much more complicated though, since each source code file may have its own license declared, and handling all these special cases leads to very complex license expressions (like "gnu-gpl-v3 for all files, except for special.c, which is apache-2.0 or mit). This is very hard to do correctly.
2018-01-03Improved guess-license for practical use.rillig1-19/+17
2018-01-02Added the guess-license target.rillig1-3/+51
It compares the license file from the package with the available licenses in licenses/ and shows the diff to the best match. This will hopefully make it easier for package authors to include the LICENSE variable in the package Makefile. This variable being missing is one of the most frequent error messages from pkglint (4187 out of 20044).
