[proposal] image license analysis
Hi,
Alexander, can you amend this as needed? Who are the stakeholders that
we should talk to?
Thanks,
James
Stakeholders: Alexander Sack?
Deadlines: ASAP
Estimated work: ?
Contact: Alexander Sack
Summary: Concerns of various companies about the use of some licenses
(GPL-3 in particular) means that they wish to know which licenses make
up each of our deliverables. For Ubuntu-based images and hardware packs
this is fairly tricky. We wish to have an automated process that
identifies the licenses that are part of the images, and can detect
changes.

OEM have something along these lines.
Thanks,
James
