pkg(5): image packaging system
LICENSE ACTIONS ACCEPTANCE PROPOSAL
1. Overview
License actions represent a license or other informational data
Add "textual" after "other"
associated with the contents of a package. A package may deliver
licenses, actions, and other legal informational data that
applies to
a package such as disclaimers and guidance to the package
installer.
The data, intended to be textual in nature, can then be
presented to a
user on-demand, in preparation for a packaging operation, or
used to
help define policies that will determine what software can be
delivered
into an image.
I've merged the above paragraphs and reworded them as follows:
License actions provide a way to deliver the textual data contained
within licenses, copyright notices, disclaimers, or other legally-
related documents that need to be associated with the contents of a
package. They also provide a way for packages to provide guidance
to pkg(5) clients as to how this information should be presented or
if it requires acceptance by the user before the package can be
delivered into an image.
Cheers,
