The "LICENSE = TI" bit in the recipes is 90% a copy/paste from another
recipe. For most things we use BSD, but since that is a "fill in"
license I choose "TI" or "TI BSD" while I waited for the interna;
opensource review board to tell me which term to use. While waiting for
that the original recipes got copied a lot :)
A short rundown, not 100% accurate, but a good rule of thumb:
BSD: things that gets put into the codecserver or linked to by apps
GPLv2 or GPLv2+BSD: Kernel modules
"TI": compiler, various binary only IP, etc
Eclipse: XDC
And then we have distribution license "Technology Software Publically
Available" or TSPA which means you can download it without any login or
registration. This is not a source license.
regards,
Koen
