This change is rather misleading. The point of the "Less License" (effectively 2-clause BSD) option given by the README is that it provides a non-GPLv3 route for distributing the binaries -- i.e. makes the package usable by people who can't tolerate GPLv3 for whatever reason. If the recipe is marked as simply GPLv3+ then it will appear unusable to those folks. If we have to pick just a single license for less then it seems that the BSD one would be a better choice than GPLv3+. p. _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
