New: expat legal info - manifest.csv: GPLv2 Source site: MIT License (Buildroot 2017-02)

Bug ID: 9751
Summary: expat legal info - manifest.csv: GPLv2 Source site:
MIT License (Buildroot 2017-02)
Product: buildroot
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
Reporter: timo.valimaki at sensoan.com
CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
Target Milestone: ---

I started to make legal check to my Buildroot build - first time.

NAME=Buildroot
VERSION=2017.02
ID=buildroot
VERSION_ID=2017.02
PRETTY_NAME="Buildroot 2017.02"

When I checked Licenses listed in the manifest.csv file and then compared what is said on actual source site I found differences.

E.g. package: expat - Manifest indicates GPLv2 but source site
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/expat/?source=navbar) indicates MIT License.

Is this due to a bug in expat package license info or something else?

--- Comment #1 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> --- I just tried legal-info with the expat package enabled, and I get:

"expat","2.2.0","MIT","COPYING","expat-2.2.0.tar.bz2","http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/expat/expat/2.2.0"

The expat package has the correct "MIT" license since we added license information to this package in commit
https://git.buildroot.org/buildroot/commit/package/expat?id=180c091a83e569d23d1ab2525ac5ef7ea9b5ee90
almost 5 years ago.

So I'm sorry, but I don't see a bug here. Are you sure you didn't misread the manifest.csv ?

--- Comment #2 from Timo V?lim?ki <[email protected]> --- You are correct, my bad.

I sorted the manifest.csv based on LICENSE column with Gnumeric Spreadsheet (using first time). I just re-run the sort I found out that I sorted only the LICENSE column and not the whole sheet as I assumed.

Case closed.
