(CC'ing Mark for confirmation of this) 44293 1 mark.hatle 2014-07-02 15:27:57 +0000 It appears on first glance that 'Affero GPL 3' has similar clauses. So the example should be expanded to include the 'AGPL-3.0' license. (At least that is the official SPDX license name.) 44315 2 ross.burton 2014-07-03 14:40:03 +0000 Scott, can you please change any mention of INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE=GPLv3 to be "GPLv3 AGPLv3 LGPLv3". 44321 3 srifenbark 2014-07-03 14:59:04 +0000 Ross, Here are the references to GPL 3. Two of the occurrences can literally be changed as you want. What about the general tone of the others? ------------------------------------- "Note Building an image without GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components is supported for only minimal and base images. See the "Images" chapter for more information." "Note Building an image without GNU General Public License Version 3 (GPLv3) components is only supported for minimal and base images. Furthermore, if you are going to build an image using non-GPLv3 components, you must make the following changes in the local.conf file before using the BitBake command to build the minimal or base image: 1. Comment out the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES line 2. Set INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3" " "Note This functionality is only regularly tested using the following setting: INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE = "GPLv3" Although you can use other settings, you might be required to remove dependencies on or provide alternatives to components that are required to produce a functional system image.

This does make me wonder if the blacklisting code handles aliases though. I'll check the code before introducing a documentation change that breaks the feature! Apart from that, it looks good. 44455 7 ross.burton 2014-07-11 23:22:28 +0000 So bug 5622 is for the aliasing not being handled. When that's fixed we should also update the documentation to use the SPDX names. 44586 8 ross.burton 2014-07-21 10:38:16 +0000 The checks have been fixed now, so can the documentation be updated to reflect the canonical names: GPL-3.0 LGPL-3.0 AGPL-3.0. 44615 9 srifenbark 2014-07-22 10:44:29 +0000 Hi, I changed the two examples of INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE such that we are using the canonical names as suggested by Comment 8. I am marking this bug as RESOLVED and changing the documentation flag to "Done." Scott
