Patch #43800
closed
Add local license files under doc/licenses for bundled third-party components
Added by Mizuki ISHIKAWA about 2 months ago.
Updated 9 days ago.
Description
Currently, external OSS licenses referenced under app/assets and in README_FOR_APP are handled in two different ways:
some have their license files stored in the Redmine repository, while others are referenced only by external links.
For licenses that are managed only via links, there is a risk that the links may become unavailable or the referenced content may change in the future, making it difficult to verify the correct license terms.
To mitigate this risk, it would be preferable to store the license files themselves in the Redmine repository for external OSS referenced under app/assets and in README_FOR_APP.
Major open source projects such as Visual Studio Code also manage all third-party license files directly within their repositories. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/main/ThirdPartyNotices.txt

I have committed the patches in r24534 and r24535. Thank you for your contribution.
The license files for bundled third-party components have been added under doc/licenses/.
I also made a small adjustment to the original patch and added a "Licenses for bundled third-party components" section to source:trunk/doc/README_FOR_APP@24535, listing the components and the license files that should be referenced.
