| 2 | ========== |
| 3 | |
| 4 | This layer contains a set of recipes corresponding to old, obsolete versions of |
| 5 | software that are GPLv2 licensed where the upstreams have moved to GPLv3 |
| 6 | licenses. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | These were part of OE-Core until it was realised they are a ticking timebomb |
| 9 | with regard to security updates and general maintenance. By splitting into a |
| 10 | separate layer, it's hoped people realise these may not be the best solution to |
| 11 | the "no GPLv3 problem" and it should also make it clear there is a different |
| 12 | quality of service applied to these recipes. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | For now, they do continue to get minimal testing by the Yocto Project, but this |
| 15 | will eventually be stopped, with anyone wanting to use them taking up the |
| 16 | maintainership. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The current maintainers for the layer are Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> |
| 19 | and Peter Kjellerstedt <peter.kjellerstedt@axis.com> |

| 21 | Where to Send Patches |
| 22 | ===================== |
| 23 | |
| 24 | For now, patches should be sent to the Yocto mailing list with [meta-gplv2] in |
| 25 | the subject line. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the |
| 26 | intended target branch of the Git repository. |
