Hi all, I would like to propose adding an optional 'file' attribution to the license tag in package.xml. The motivation here is that some OSS licenses require provision of license text when a user redistribute the software in a binary form, but currently it's not easy to find it because we have to grep all the source codes. I think adding the file attribution to point the right license text file in a repository will help a user or a tool to do this easier. I have made a [PR](https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rep/pull/157) to update REP-149 which is the candidate of the next package.xml format. Please review and comment on the PR if you have any concern or better idea. https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/rep/pull/157 Thank you. --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/rfc-on-updated-rep-149-add-optional-file-attribution-to-license-tag-in-package-xml/3958/1) or reply to this email to respond.
