Missing license

alyssais opened this issue · comments

I don't see any license in this repo, which means that legally there's very little people can use this code for. This would be a blocker for somebody other than the copyright holder upstreaming the cross compilation support.

I suggest copying the license structure of Nixpkgs, particularly the note about patches being licensed under the licenses of their respective upstreams, to allow for upstreaming.

Thanks! This is a huge oversight indeed. I had thought about this a while ago and never did anything about it.

Do you have a link to the language nixpkgs uses for the patches? I found the COPYING file but it doesn't have that language.

It's here, in the README.
