#4611: Update LICENSE.TXT to include internal dependencies
-------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter: Algunenano | Owner: Algunenano
Type: enhancement | Status: assigned
Priority: medium | Milestone: PostGIS 3.1.0
Component: postgis | Version: master
Keywords: |
-------------------------+---------------------------
LICENSE.TXT does not include references to files which have different
licenses or copyright requirements introduced "lately". For example:
- liblwgeom/lwrandom.c
- liblwgeom/lookup3.c
- deps/uthash
- deps/wagyu
Eventhough I don't think we are doing anything wrong since those licenses
/ requirements are compatible with our source distribution, packages might
as the notices are stripped away during compilation.
Although not all licenses require keeping the notices in binary
distribution, I think it's best to be transparent and ensure everything is
listed in the LICENSE file.
