libvirt is to a large extent licensed under LGPLv2.1 (or later) rather
than GPLv2. From my investigations, there are only some tests and a
couple of files under tools are licensed as GPL. Other than that, files
are generally licensed as LGPL. My recommendation is therefore to set
the default license to LGPLv2.1+, and to add a LICENSE_${PN}-ptest that
is set to LGPLv2.1+ & GPLv2+ if a ptest package is added. This is
preferred to avoid having to specify explicit licenses for every other
package, such as the auto generated libvirt-locale-XX packages.Signed-off-by: Jonas Eriksson <[email protected]> Acked-by: Bruce Ashfield <[email protected]> --- recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.2.1.bb | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.2.1.bb b/recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.2.1.bb index 3b95486..d30f09d 100644 --- a/recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.2.1.bb +++ b/recipes-extended/libvirt/libvirt_1.2.1.bb @@ -1,7 +1,8 @@ DESCRIPTION = "A toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux."
