Nov 19th 2024, 10:13
Arch Linux hasn't had a license for any package sources (such as PKGBUILD files) in the past, which is potentially problematic. Providing a license will preempt that uncertainty.
In (https://rfc.archlinux.page/0040-license-package-sources/) RFC 40 we agreed to change all package sources to be licensed under the very liberal (https://spdx.org/licenses/0BSD.html) 0BSD license. This change will not limit what you can do with package sources. Check out (https://rfc.archlinux.page/0040-license-package-sources/) the RFC for more on the rationale and prior discussion.
Before we make this change, we will provide contributors with a way to voice any objections they might have. Starting on 2024-11-19, over the course of a week, contributors will receive a single notification email listing all their contributions.
If you receive an email and agree to this change, there is no action required from your side.
If you do not agree, please reply to the email and we'll find a solution together.
If you contributed to Arch Linux packages before but didn't receive an email, please contact us at package-sources-licensing@archlinux.org.
