One question that I have is about the license terms of the repo. In brief it seems that the COPYING/LICENSE files are left over from the original projects and that it's possible that since the remaining files are data rather than source, that the LICENSE terms no longer apply. For a more details explanation, see: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/138521?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,bzip2+test+suite,20,2,0,73224911 My conclusion is that the bzip2-ptest yocto package should be tagged with just: LICENSE = "GPLv3+" due to the terms of the top level run-tests.sh script rather that the alternative: LICENSE = \ "bzip2-1.0.6 & GPLv3+ & Apache-2.0 & MS-PL & BSD-3-Clause & Zlib" If you agree, then I'd be happy to send a commit to remove the license files in the sub-directories and include a nice long explanation in the commit log based on the email referenced above. If not that's certainly fine as well but I would be puzzled by such a result! :) Note that Yocto users typically automatically fetch the source at build time from the original SRC_URI so this certainly doesn't affect distribution of the bzip2-test source.
