Whilst overall thought to be MIT, there are many other simlar/related licences included in there. The make our license data more accurate, update to include all the license variants present. I have submitted a patch upstream to add identifiers to the COPYING file to make it clearer where these come from and save others from repeating this painful exercise: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/merge_requests/2218 Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie --- diff --git a/meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xorg.inc b/meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xorg.inc index f720c9cef4..50e2dcb975 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xorg.inc +++ b/meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xorg.inc @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ SUMMARY = "The X.Org X server" HOMEPAGE = "http://www.x.org" SECTION = "x11/base" -LICENSE = "MIT" +LICENSE = "MIT & Adobe-Display-PostScript & BSD-3-Clause & DEC-3-Clause & HPND & HPND-Netrek & HPND-sell-MIT-disclaimer-xserver & HPND-sell-variant & HPND-UC & ICU & ISC & MIT-open-group & NTP & SGI-B-2.0 & SMLNJ & X11 & X11-no-permit-persons & X11-swapped" LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=f8778cfcd90ece0e4b225f30182227ca" # xf86-*-* packages depend on an X server built with the xfree86 DDX diff --git a/meta/recipes-graphics/xwayland/xwayland_24.1.9.bb b/meta/recipes-graphics/xwayland/xwayland_24.1.9.bb index c4e2d7cfdb..b12b0d0cc7 100644 --- a/meta/recipes-graphics/xwayland/xwayland_24.1.9.bb +++ b/meta/recipes-graphics/xwayland/xwayland_24.1.9.bb @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ the transition from X Window System to Wayland environments, providing \ a way to run unported applications in the meantime."
