Files found in patches/*/ are available under the same license as the

upstream software they apply to.
|
|
.
|
|
That means that you can't use those patches if you were licensed the
|
|
software under a specific license which is not the one the software is
|
|
commonly available under.
|
|
.
|
|
As an example, if you ever managed to get the Linux kernel under a license
|
|
other than the GPLv2, you are not allowed to use the Linux kernel patches
|
|
coming with crosstool-NG, as those are available under the GPLv2, which is
|
|
the license the Linux kernel is most commonly available under.
|
|
.
|
|
As a convenience, the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) v2.1 (for the
|
|
patches against glibc, uClibc, and some other libraries) is available there:
|
|
licenses.d/lgpl.txt
|
|
.
|
|
Other files not covered by the above licenses, and not covered by an
|
|
individual license specified in the file itself, or an accompanying file,
|
|
are available under the GNU General Public License (GPL), v2, to be found
|
|
here:
|
|
licenses.d/gpl.txt
|
|
.
|
|
Also, I want to clarify one point. If you build a toolchain with crosstool-NG
|
|
and you happen to sell, deliver, or otherwise publish this toolchain to a
|
|
third party, I consider crosstool-NG as being part of the sources needed to
|
|
rebuild the afore-mentioned toolchain, alongside with all other source code
|
|
that third party is otherwise entitled to receive, due to other licenses of
|
|
the different components. See licenses.d/gpl.txt, section 3, which reads:
|
|
> For an executable work, complete source code means [...], plus the
|
|
> scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
|
|
.
|
|
In short: crosstool-NG is the part refered to as "the scripts to control
|
|
compilation and installation of the executable", it being the toolchain in
|
|
our case; and as such you must make it available, in conformance to the
|
|
GPLv2, see above.
|
|
.
|
|
Also, if you have local patches that you apply to the different components
|
|
(either manualy, or by instructing crosstool-NG to do so), you will have to
|
|
make those patches available alongside with your toolchain, to comply with
|
|
the licenses of the components impacted by your patches.
