[This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
licensing framework.]
- o Some packages are dual licensed, meaning that permission is
- granted to copy under either of two licenses. An example is
- perl, with the license choice being GPL or the Artistic
- license. A way is needed to encode this situation in a
- LICENSE= statement. Possibilities include:
-
- * Add a new license file that explains the dual licensing
- situation and refers to license files for the two
- licenses. This may not scale, but a small number may
- cover many common cases (in particular, GPL/Artistic may
- cover most of them).
-
- * Add some syntax that expresses dual licensing by referring
- to multiple licenses. For example, one could redefine the
- value of LICENSE= to be an s-expression rather than a
- token, and ues "(dual gnu-gpl-v2 artistic)".
-
- o Some packages have multiple licenses, each covering a
- different part of the package. Redistribution requires
- following the terms of all them. It is not clear how often
- this situation occurs, but an example is openssl when
- patented algorithms are enabled.
-
- * We could use "(multiple gnu-gpl-v2 modified-bsd)" to
- represent this.
-
- o The dual and multiple license situations can occur at the
- same time, so ideally an arbitrary grammar is in order.
- But this seems too complicated.
-
o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
license". This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
