Motivation and Context
#18074 prompted me to look into exactly what the deal is with licensing around autoconf extensions/macros (tl;dr: no big deal). Since I was in there thinking about licenses anyway, I went through and added the tags
Closes #18074.
Description
Build files are
*.am,*.acand*.m4. Almost all areCDDL-1.0, as you'd expect.Most third-party macros are from the autoconf archive, and are under FSF "Permissive" or "Unlimited" licenses (
FSFAPandFSFULLR).The other two are regular GPL licenses with "exceptions". The SPDX identifier format actually has this whole grammar for expressing combinations and add-ons, but we don't need most of it, so I've just hardcoded those two as specific long strings in
spdxcheck.pl.How Has This Been Tested?
Compile checked on Linux and FreeBSD for completeness, but since it's entirely adding comments I wouldn't expect anything.
