Hello, due to the fact there is a license troll who actively sue German companies. I did some research to comply ith the need to provide the copyright information within my YOCTO builds. My research ended up with the spdx.class which includes support for the fossology tool. But the current version of fossology does not support the spdx plugin used in the spdx.class anymore [1] This plugin is not updated since 4 years. As an alternative there is the DoSOCSv2 tool [2] for which a Patch by Lei Maohui exists which was not accepted and Lei ended up in a separate layer called meta-spdxscanner [3].
So my specific question is, what are the recommended actions to comply to provide copyright information with the sourcecode/binary? What is the state of the art at the moment and how do the users of oe/yocto solve this requirement. Thanks in advance, Christian -- [1] https://github.com/FOSSology-SPDX/fossology-spdx [2] https://github.com/DoSOCSv2/DoSOCSv2 [3] https://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layer/meta-spdxscanner/ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
