[PATCH] libgcc: Set LICENSE for -lic package

[PATCH] libgcc: Set LICENSE for -lic package

[Christian Eggers]

The default license (GPL-3.0-with-GCC-exception & GPLv3) is not suitable
for installing libgcc-lic on an image where INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE is set
to "GPL-3.0".

Not really directing the question to you but... does this actually makes
sense? Is the license licensed? Can't we just empty LICENSE_${PN}-lic or
not check the license for this package? That might be something that can
be done in the license.bbclass for example.

Nothing else to say though on that particular patch :)

I already asked myself what license the -lic package should have. Is this a
license of it's own (or none)?

From the GPLv2:

"Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed."

Other licenses like MIT have no such restrictions, so that they
are often forked. But setting an individual license for each -lic paket may
also complicate things.

The patch I sent, "works for me". But I'll be also happy with another
solution...

regards
Christian
