Hi,
I'm trying to package 'util-linux'. It uses several licenses:
- GPLv3+
- GPLv2+
- GPLv2
- LGPLv2+
- BSD with advertising
- Public Domain
What are the common abbreviations for Public Domain and BSD with
advertising? Is there a list of abbreviations for licenses?
As far as I can tell, 'license' doesn't check the used values. So it's
possible to use an incorrect value (e.g. "foobar"). Should we add a
function to check this?
Nikita

Nixpkgs uses this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/lib/licenses.nix
which is a subset of this:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing

There could be a (guix licenses) module along these lines:
(define-module (guix licenses)
#:use-module (srfi srfi-9)
#:export (gplv2+ gplv3+))
(define-record-type <license>
(license name)
license?
(name license-name))
(define gplv3+ (license "GPLv3+"))
(define gplv2+ (license "GPLv2+"))
Packages would then do, for instance:
(package
...
(license gplv3+))
and you would get a unbound-variable warning when passing something
wrong. We could imagine a <license-union> type for multiply-licensed
code, and a <license-set> type for packages that incorporate code under
different licenses. There could be a mechanism to make sure the
‘license’ field is a <license> object, or a <license-set> or
<license-union>
And then, it would be tempting to make a graph of <license> objects to
indicate compatibility, and add additional properties to each <license>
object to describe it more precisely (copyleft, version number, etc.),
and so on.
But! We must keep in mind that people will always write new licenses;
packages will always include files covered by different licenses;
there will always be dual-licensed packages; etc.
More importantly, licensing is not a science, and we can’t pretend to
devise a universal “license calculus”. (This has been discussed at
length in the past on nix-dev.)
Thus, I would start with a simple (guix licenses) module. I would
perhaps even omit the <license> type, and use just plain strings to
start with.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Ludo’.

Unsolicited advice incoming..
Licenses are a huge pain when you get into all the custom ones out
there. This has also been discussed at length on arch-dev years ago.
IIRC ArchLinux uses an array of strings for each package, and then
when you build the package you get warnings about licenses that are
unique/new. You then add the LICENSE file to the package so the
warning goes away, and it gets placed in a common licenses directory.
I don't quite remember the mechanics of how it checked this, and I'm
sure it's changed by now.
I think the important part here is if you use strings, have some way
to check if someone is building a package with a new/undocumented
license. Then the graph of license objects could be accomplished
later, if you know you don't have misspellings like "LGLPv2" and stuff
like it polluting the graph.

Right. Referring to variables defined in (guix licenses) instead of
using plain strings directly should help with that.

Can you make this a single #:export?
Also, make sure to export ‘license?’ and ‘license-name’.
Could you add a small “Commentary:” block at the beginning, and a “ends
here” lines at the end? See, for instance, guix/download.scm for an
example.
This allows for on-line documentation:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> (module-commentary '(guix download))
$4 = "\n Produce fixed-output derivations with data fetched over HTTP or FTP.\n\n"
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(Likewise with C-d RET in Geiser.)
Thanks!
Ludo’.

While we’re at it, we should add a ‘url’ field to <license>, so that the
URL above would be a field of the license object instead of being a
comment.
Thoughts?

Which one should I use? (The latter looks better, IMHO.)
#:export (license? license-name asl2.0 boost1.0 bsd-2 bsd-3 bsd-4

I think that we should use 'uri' instead. [1]

Well, in practice that’ll be URLs to descriptive documents, but either
way is fine with me.

Applied, thanks!
Next step will be to use it everywhere.

How to change the recipes that are already in the repo? Should we do
it in a single commit?

Yes, in a single commit. Just use a simple ‘sed’ script or similar.

Hi,
I've found out that we can't use (guix licenses) right now; 'bzip2'
and 'flex' use BSD-like licenses that differ from 'bsd-2', 'bsd-3',
and 'bsd-4'.
There are two ways to fix the problem. We can create new licenses for
such packages (e.g. 'bzip2'), but it will be tricky. I propose to use
the following variable instead:
(define bsd-like
(license "BSD-like"
#f
"This is not a real license. It's just a placeholder for
packages that use BSD-like licenses which don't fall into the
following categories: 'bsd-2', 'bsd-3', and 'bsd-4'. Check the
source code for details.")
What do you think?
Also, I'll add 'expat', which is used by 'libffi'.
Nikita

What about:
(define* (bsd-style uri #:optional (comment ""))
(license "BSD-style"
uri
(string-append
"This is a BSD-style, non-copyleft free software license. "
"Check the URI for details. "
comment)))
So we’d write:
(package
(name "bzip2")
;; ...
(license (bsd-style "file://LICENSE"
"See LICENSE in the distribution.")))
WDYT?

That's even better. Why did you use trailing whitespaces?

So there are two spaces after sentence-terminating periods.
