In the LICENSE file at the top of the ofbiz tree, there is a segment of
files that are under a BSD license. However, what follows is *NOT* the
actual license they are under, but a generic BSD-template. This means
we are not actually including the license each of those files is under.
Additionally, many files do *NOT* list the location where they were
fetched from; ie, no upstream location. There is also no mention of the
author(which is somewhat related).
My suggestion in fixing this, is to use a format that is a bit more easy
for automated programs to parse; the current LICENSE file is rather
free-form. Something along these lines:
Name: foobar
Homepage: http://www.foobar.com/
Version: 1.2-3rc1
Authors:
Some Body <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Description: short description
long description
Files:
framework/base/lib/foobar.jar
framework/images/webapp/images/foobar/foo.js
framework/images/webapp/images/foobar/bar.js
Common-License: APL 2.0
or
Common-License:
<license text>
You will note that this format is compatible with debian control files.
However, I'm not married to it; any parseable file will do.
