[Buildroot] [PATCH 00/29] qt, qt5: only ever use the free/opensource licenses

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

This series drops the option to accept the "free license" (as per the
current prompts), to only ever use that, and no longer claim to allow
use of Qt/Qt5 under a proprietary version.

The rationale behind this change is multi-fold:

  - the name of the tarballs we download clearly hint that they can
    only be used under the opensource license;

  - the proprietary license is unknown to us (the Buildroot community
    at large); we do not even know if there is a single such license;

  - we do not have such license choice for any other package in a
    similar situation (e.g. mongoose); we only ever use the publicly
    available licenses, always;

  - finally, we do not have such click-wrap acceptance option for any
    license, be it free, opensource, or proprietary, and whether it be
    redistributable or not. The licenses are available in the output
    of legal-info, which a user should consult before using or
    distributing the result of a build.

So, we drop the option to "Approve free license" for both Qt and
Qt5, and do as we do for all packages: just use the publicly-known
opensource licenses.

Users interested in using Qt under a proprietary license will have
to take special steps to use it (as they were already probably doing
anyway).


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
