John Gilmore has been pushing us to get our licensing ducks in a row. The one remaining problem has been activities and content bundles: we can't legally distribute bundles that don't have a clear statement of license.
I have added documentation to: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_bundles#.info_File_Format and http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sample_library.info_file on a new 'license=' field in the activity.info and library.info files, closely modelled after the License: field in RPM packages. Now I need your help! Could you all look at any activity and content bundles you maintain, add an appropriate license statement if there isn't one already (comments at the top of source files, or a COPYING file, or a statement in the README, etc) and the add a 'license=' field to your activity.info or library.info documenting the license choice? Commenting on http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/8411 when you've done so will help me keep track of how we're doing. We will not be able to ship any activities in our G1G1 8.2 image which do not have appropriate license information -- since mstone's plan-of-the-moment is to make the first release candidate for this next week, the situation is pretty urgent. Also, we will probably need to remove any activity bundles hosted on the dev.laptop.org wiki which do not have statements of license at one point. Your help is appreciated!
