This PR introduces scanning for incompatible FOSS licenses (e.g. GNU GPL) on the http_archive dependencies in
third_party/, using scancode-toolkit.The
scancode_testmacro introduced in this PR allows ignoring some files if necessary. Many are benign for reasons such as:Further, some tools with share-alike licenses are only used at build-time and never linked directly into a deliverable. GPL-licensed dev-only tools use a different policy file that permits these licenses (
dev_policy.yaml). Tools affected by this include:-
openocd, an embedded debugging tool.-
doxygena tool used alongsidemdbookto build the documentation.-
shellcheck, a linter for shell scripts.
