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
LICENSE
the contains the stock BSD 3-clause text (see info here: https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.admin/tree/master/templates) - Modify the file
MANIFEST.in
to includeLICENSE
instead ofLICENSE.AGPL
- Modify the file
setup.py
to list the license correctly on the classifier list (replace license key byLicense :: OSI Approved :: BSD License
) - Modify the file
conda/meta.yaml
to set the license appropriately. Should readlicense: BSD 3-Clause
andlicense_family: BSD
on theabout
section, replacing the current AGPL stuff. - Double-check all headers from
.py
files - @flavio.tarsetti may have a script to do this.
Please consult with @philip.abbet since I think rechecked, by then, the feasibility of this move and found no issues against doing this.
