Series [PATCHv3,1/3] util-linux-libuuid: Set LIC_FILES_CHKSUM | expand

Commit Message

Peter Kjellerstedt June 5, 2025, 9:31 p.m. UTC
The default license for util-linux is GPL-2.0-or-later.

Most of the applications and the libraries are also linked with
libcommon.la, which uses these licenses:
LGPL-2.1-or-later & BSD-2-Clause & BSD-3-Clause & MIT

Set the above licenses for all dynamic packages, unless explicitly
specified.

In particular, this avoids setting BSD-4-Clause-UC and EUPL-1.2 on
packages where they do not belong.

License-Update: See above
Signed-off-by: Peter Kjellerstedt <peter.kjellerstedt@axis.com>

PATCHv2: Add more specific licenses for util-linux-bash-completion and
         util-linux-dev.
PATCHv3: The changes are now in the util-linux recipe instead of the
         util-linux.inc file.
