26 26 OK, so you've got approval to integrate code, and you want to know how to
27 27 properly communicate the license terms. What do you do next?
28 28
29 29 0. Determine whether your code should be covered by Oracle copyright,
30 30 CDDL, and/or a third party license. If only Oracle copyright and/or
31 31 CDDL, then skip to step 3.
32 32
33 33 1. Scan the source code and extract all of the third party licenses

34 34 into one or more separate files.
35 35
36 36 This information may be present in comments in source code, or may
37 37 already be provided as separate files. For example, GPL license
38 38 terms are often found in files named "COPYING."
39 39
40 40 A. In general, you'll name these files "THIRDPARTYLICENSE," and
41 41 you'll put one in each source directory (i.e. one per library,
42 42 or one per command, or one per kernel module.)
43 43
44 - EXAMPLE: usr/src/uts/common/io/pcan/THIRDPARTYLICENSE
44 + EXAMPLE: usr/src/uts/common/io/mwl/THIRDPARTYLICENSE
45 45
46 46 If this file proves unmanageable, or you're adding licenses
47 47 that really are independent of each other, you may instead
48 48 create multiple "THIRDPARTYLICENSE.foo" files, where "foo"
49 49 obviously corresponds to the license in question.
50 50
51 51 EXAMPLE: usr/src/lib/libsmbfs/smb/THIRDPARTYLICENSE.*
52 52
53 53 B. If you planned ahead and included graceful delimiters in your
54 54 source code, the THIRDPARTYLICENSE files may actually be build
55 55 targets in your Makefiles.
56 56
57 57 EXAMPLE: usr/src/cmd/perl/Makefile
58 58
59 59 If the corresponding copyright will change dates frequently,
60 60 then this approach can work well, because you won't need to
61 61 update the license files manually.
62 62
63 63 If you do this, then your license file should be a dependency of
64 64 both the all and install targets, and should be removed via
65 65 clobber, usually by way of CLOBBERFILES.
66 66
67 67 2. Give each of the license files a corresponding ".descrip" file with
68 68 a terse explanation of the contents. Something like "MJN DRIVER"
69 69 or "PORTIONS OF ARCANE FUNCTIONALITY" is sufficient.
70 70
71 71 EXAMPLE: usr/src/cmd/refer/THIRDPARTYLICENSE.descrip
72 72
73 73 3. Figure out which packages deliver objects that are built using the
74 74 new source, and add license actions to the package manifest(s).
75 75
76 76 A. It's extremely rare for a package NOT to include a Sun copyright
77 77 and CDDL. If your package is one of the 99 percent that should
78 78 have a Sun copyright and CDDL, then your package should have license
79 79 actions like this:
80 80
81 81 license lic_CDDL license=lic_CDDL
82 82 license cr_Sun license=cr_Sun
83 83
84 84 B. If your package delivers ONLY header files, and has multiple different
85 85 copyrights or licenses, you can use
86 86
87 87 license license_in_headers license=license_in_headers
88 88 license path/to/most/common/copyright/file \
89 89 license=path/to/most/common/copyright/file
90 90 license path/to/most/common/license/file \
91 91 license=path/to/most/common/license/file
92 92
93 93 C. For your new license files, the path you use in your license
94 94 actions should be relative to ${CODEMGR_WS}.
95 95
96 96 D. Empty packages: if your package delivers nothing (or, more strictly
97 97 speaking, nothing besides directories) you should include the Sun
98 98 copyright but not the CDDL.
99 99
100 100 E. As with any other action that is architecture dependent, license
101 101 actions may be preceded by $(blah_ONLY), where "blah" corresponds
102 102 to $(uname -p).
103 103
104 104 If you don't add the appropriate license actions to package
105 105 manifests, then your license and description files will show up as
106 106 unreferenced in the build.
