shipped activities need to be audited for licensing information

Reported by: mako Owned by: dgilmore
Priority: blocker Milestone: 9.1.0
Component: distro Version:
Keywords: Cc: mako, gnu, cscott
Action Needed: test in build Verified: no
Deployments affected: Blocked By: #7413
Blocking: #4265

Description

As part of solving the #4265 and coming into compliance with the GPL and with the spirit of free software, several change to the current builds are needed.

We need to (a) audit the existing shipped activities for licensing information -- and place this information in a licensing field. For GPLed applications, we need to ensure that shipments are incompliance with the GPL. We also need to (b) establish a procedure for new activities that ensures that they licensing information is known and that shipments will be in compliance.

Is this blocked by 7413 or is it the other way around?

  • milestone changed from 8.1.1 (was Update1.1) to 9.1.0

We don't ship activities with our core builds. Changes to the activity.info file seems like a 9.1.0 task.

For 8.2.0, please open separate bugs for any activities on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activities/G1G1 which are not in GPL compliance.
