Missing LICENSE Files in Rust Crates

Closed this issue · 1 comments

MIT license require that redistributed sources contain a copy of the license text. These licenses are not being shipped in the crates:

https://crates.io/crates/dlopen2
https://crates.io/crates/dlopen2_derive

Note that the commit that closed this issue is not correct. The package.license-file setting is only supposed to be used for non-standard licenses that cannot be expressed with SPDX identifiers: https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/manifest.html#the-license-and-license-file-fields

For example, crates.io will show "Non-Standard" license if the license-file key is present in crate metadata.

There is no way to make cargo include files from outside the crate directory that is purely in Cargo.toml metadata. You will need to include a copy of the file in the crate directories, or include a symbolic link to the license file(s) if the OS you are running cargo publish on supports symbolic links.
