license conflicts with OpenSSL

[Yong Li]

Hi All,

 

Just found that some packages included in openbmc have license conflict
issues between OpenSSL and GPL

 

Ipmitool package and krb5 package are both linked to openssl and other GPL
libs. 

 

Based on the discussion in
https://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2004/05/msg00595.html, I think they
are conflict licenses.

 

Just want to know if we need to do something? Such as add an additional
license file?

 

 

More information:

meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-kernel/ipmitool/ipmitool_1.8.18.bb

LICENSE = "BSD-3-Clause"

DEPENDS = "openssl readline ncurses"

 

Readline is GPLv3

 

meta-openembedded/meta-oe/recipes-connectivity/krb5/krb5_1.17.bb:

LICENSE = "MIT"

DEPENDS = "bison-native ncurses util-linux e2fsprogs e2fsprogs-native
openssl"

 

Util-linux is GPLv2

 

 

Thanks,

Yong
