cover qt, qt5: only ever use the free/opensource licenses

Hello All!

This series drops the option to accept the "free license" (as per the current prompts), to only ever use that, and no longer claim to allow use of Qt/Qt5 under a proprietary version.

The rationale behind this change is multi-fold:

- the name of the tarballs we download clearly hint that they can

    only be used under the opensource license;

- the proprietary license is unknown to us (the Buildroot community

    at large); we do not even know if there is a single such license;

- we do not have such license choice for any other package in a similar situation (e.g. mongoose); we only ever use the publicly available licenses, always;

- finally, we do not have such click-wrap acceptance option for any license, be it free, opensource, or proprietary, and whether it be redistributable or not. The licenses are available in the output of legal-info, which a user should consult before using or distributing the result of a build.

So, we drop the option to "Approve free license" for both Qt and Qt5, and do as we do for all packages: just use the publicly-known opensource licenses.

Users interested in using Qt under a proprietary license will have to take special steps to use it (as they were already probably doing anyway).

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

PATCH 1/29 package/qt: default to approved license

The only license we can act upon in Buildroot is the publicly available license.

Qt can come under non-free licenses, but we have no access to such licenses. The conditions to access the code under those non-free, non-public licenses is unknown.

Besides, Qt (with Qt5) is the only package that has this choice; for other packages in a similar situation, we only use the free, publicly-known licenses.

Finally, the name of the tarballs we download clearly hint that they can only be used under the free license.

Drop the prompt to the accepted license, and make it mandatory; packages will be adapted in follow-up patches.

PATCH 12/29 package/qt5location: always use the opensource license

We never ask the user to confirm their assent about the use of a free license; there is no reason we do so for Qt.

The output of legal-info is there to gather all the licenses used in a build; the license for qt5location will be there to be consulted as well.

PATCH 26/29 package/qt5xmlpatterns: always use the opensource license

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

We never ask the user to confirm their assent about the use of a free license; there is no reason we do so for Qt.

The output of legal-info is there to gather all the licenses used in a build; the license for qt5xmlpatterns will be there to be consulted as well.

PATCH 28/29 package/qt: drop option for license approved

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

As stated in previous commits, Buildroot only ever uses the free license, and we do not have a click-wrap approval for any such free license for any other package.

The option to approve the license now has no prompt and is no longer used anywhere. Drop it and make it a legacy entry.

IMO this doesn't bring any value. If the user already has selected to approve
the free license, nothing really changes for them so there's no point drawing their attention to legacy.

We should instead give a legacy warning when the user *didn't* have the option
selected. But that's not possible, of course.

Therefore, I'd say we drop the legacy handling for this option.

cover qt, qt5: only ever use the free/opensource licenses

In reply to Yann E. MORIN

Hi all,

Quoted 18 lines · Yann E. MORIN

Hello All!

This series drops the option to accept the "free license" (as per the current prompts), to only ever use that, and no longer claim to allow use of Qt/Qt5 under a proprietary version.

The rationale behind this change is multi-fold:

- the name of the tarballs we download clearly hint that they can

    only be used under the opensource license;

- the proprietary license is unknown to us (the Buildroot community

    at large); we do not even know if there is a single such license;

- we do not have such license choice for any other package in a similar situation (e.g. mongoose); we only ever use the publicly available licenses, always;

Quoted 5 lines

- finally, we do not have such click-wrap acceptance option for any license, be it free, opensource, or proprietary, and whether it be redistributable or not. The licenses are available in the output of legal-info, which a user should consult before using or distributing the result of a build.

In addition, this option (if not set) will stop the build for interactive
handling, which is something we want to avoid.

Big +1 to this series. I gave it a once-over and it looks OK to me (I didn't
look carefully enough to give it a Reviewed-by though). I do have an issue with the legacy handling, as explained in my reply to that patch. I also wouldn't have split it up as much, but OK.

Quoted 8 lines

So, we drop the option to "Approve free license" for both Qt and Qt5, and do as we do for all packages: just use the publicly-known opensource licenses.

Users interested in using Qt under a proprietary license will have to take special steps to use it (as they were already probably doing anyway).

Actually the proprietary Qt licenses that I've seen said that they also apply
to the free download. Admittedly that was a couple of years ago, still Qt4.

Regards,
Arnout

package/qt5webchannel: always use the opensource license package/qt5webkit: always use the opensource license package/qt5websockets: always use the opensource license package/qt5x11extras: always use the opensource license package/qt5xmlpatterns: always use the opensource license
configs: drop Qt/Qt5 license approval option package/qt: drop option for license approved package/qt5: drop option for license approved

Series applied. As suggested by Arnout, I've dropped the legacy handling in the last two patches, as it doesn't serve any purpose.

Thanks!

Thomas
