# $NetBSD: license.mk,v 1.18 2009/05/14 06:01:00 martti Exp $ # # This file handles everything about the LICENSE variable. It is # included automatically by bsd.pkg.mk. # # XXX There should be one place to set the default list and for users # to set the ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES list, used by both source builds and # binary installs# # # XXX: Some of this content arguably belongs in the pkgsrc guide # instead. # # === User-settable variables === # # ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES # # If a package declares a license and that license is not a # member of the list defined by this variable, pkgsrc will not # build the package and instead print an error message. # (pkg_install has code to behave the same way, but it is not # yet turned on.) # # XXX: Perhaps there should be some mechanism to prevent running # programs that are part of packages that declare LICENSEs that # are not in ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES or some per-user variable. # This is surely controversial and requires discussion. # # To include the default licenses, you can use the += operator # in mk.conf. To override it, use the plain = operator. # # Default value: ${DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES} # # === Package-settable variables === # # LICENSE # # The license of the package. # # Sometimes licensing is other than a single text file. See # doc/TODO for discussion of how to handle packages with dual # licensing (a choice) or where multiple licenses apply # simultaneously. # # Every package should specify its license. (Prior to early 2009, # Open Source and Free software did not have license tags.) # # Licenses are collected in the licenses/ subdirectory of # pkgsrc. For open source license, we generally use the same # names as either the Open Source Initiative or the Free # Software Foundation, choosing a name to reduce confusion. # Open source and free licenses do not have a -license suffix, # and non-free licenses do. # # http://opensource.org/licenses/category # http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html # # === Predefined variables === # # DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES # The list of licenses that will be the default value of # ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES. Adapting the longstanding policy of Open # Source or Free licenses not requiring tags, it should contain # all licenses that are Open Source or Free, so as to provide # the most expansive default that almost all people find # acceptable. (Many people will want to add more licenses to # ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES; the point is to have a default that very # few people want to shrink.) # # Licenses not formally approved as Free or Open Source may be # added if they have terms that would obviously be approved if # the effort were made. Such license names will have a comment # near them in the assignment to DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES. # # The pkg_install sources also have a # DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES list, and that should be updated # to match the list here.

Free and Open Source licenses should be # added to the list as they are added to pkgsrc. # The convention is that Free or Open Source licenses do not have a # -license suffix, and nonfree licenses end in -license. # XXX open-font-license should perhaps be changed to open-font DEFAULT_ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES= \ public-domain \ gnu-gpl-v2 gnu-lgpl-v2 gnu-lgpl-v2.1 \ gnu-gpl-v3 gnu-lgpl-v3 \ original-bsd modified-bsd \ x11 \ apache-1.1 apache-2.0 \ artistic artistic-2.0 \ cddl-1.0 \ cpl-1.0 \ open-font-license ##### Variant spellings .if defined(ACCEPTABLE_LICENCES) && !defined(ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES) ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES= ${ACCEPTABLE_LICENCES} .endif .if !defined(LICENSE) . if defined(PKG_DEVELOPER) WARNINGS+= "[license.mk] Every package should define a LICENSE." . endif .else # Note: some bulk builders rely on the fact that they can set # _ACCEPTABLE to bypass license checks.
