Change license to BSD 3-clause
As discussed in earlier weekly meetings (see action points from week02/2018 till week09/2018), the prospective re-use of BEAT core components to re-implement some Bob frameworks would require a shift in the licensing terms for some core BEAT packages.
@samuel.gaist: could you please do that before the release? The idea is to go from AGPLv3 to BSD 3-clause (as the rest of Bob) for all packages up to beat.cmdline. We exclude beat.web from this, leaving it as AGPLv3.
We should do the following, in details:
- Remove the file
LICENSE.AGPL - Create a new file called
LICENSEthe contains the stock BSD 3-clause text (see info here: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.admin/tree/master/templates) - Modify the file
MANIFEST.into includeLICENSEinstead ofLICENSE.AGPL - Modify the file
setup.pyto list the license correctly on the classifier list (replace license key byLicense :: OSI Approved :: BSD License) - Modify the file
conda/meta.yamlto set the license appropriately. Should readlicense: BSD 3-Clauseandlicense_family: BSDon theaboutsection, replacing the current AGPL stuff.
Please consult with @philip.abbet since I think rechecked, by then, the feasibility of this move and found no issues against doing this.
