ecl_license: Licensing details for the embedded control libraries

Maintains the ecl licenses and also provides an install target for deploying licenses with the ecl libraries.

Embedded Control Library

This just keeps a copy of the license used for the ecl. It also provides an install target so that ecl libraries may always be installed on the system with the licenses. Embedded libraries also include and install their corresponding licenses in their respective packages.

Copies of the license are provided below for reference.

Licenses

Embedded Control Library

The embedded control library uses a BSD license.

                BSD License - this applies to all code except the tclap library modified
                and incorporated in modules/core/include/command_line. It is governed
                by the MIT license contained therein.

                                   GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                                                           Version 3, 29 June 2007

                 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
                 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
                 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.


                  This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
                the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
                License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.

                  0. Additional Definitions.

                  As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
                General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
                General Public License.

                  "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
                other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.

                  An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
                by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
                Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
                of using an interface provided by the Library.

                  A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
                Application with the Library.  The particular version of the Library
                with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
                Version".

                  The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
                Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
                for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
                based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.

                  The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
                object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
                and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
                Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.

                  1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.

                  You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
                without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.

                  2. Conveying Modified Versions.

                  If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
                facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
                that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
                facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
                version:

                   a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
                   ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
                   function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
                   whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or

                   b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
                   this License applicable to that copy.

                  3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.

                  The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
                a header file that is part of the Library.  You may convey such object
                code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
                material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
                layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
                (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:

                   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
                   Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
                   covered by this License.

                   b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
                   document.

                  4. Combined Works.

                  You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
                taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
                portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
                engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
                the following:

                   a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
                   the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
                   covered by this License.

                   b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
                   document.

                   c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
                   execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
                   these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
                   copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.

                   d) Do one of the following:

                           0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
                           License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
                           suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
                           recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
                           the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
                           manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
                           Corresponding Source.

                           1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
                           Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
                           a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
                           system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
                           of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
                           Version.

                   e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
                   be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
                   GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
                   necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
                   Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
                   Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
                   you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
                   the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
                   Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
                   Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
                   for conveying Corresponding Source.)

                  5. Combined Libraries.

                  You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
                Library side by side in a single library together with other library
                facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
                License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
                choice, if you do both of the following:

                   a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
                   on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
                   conveyed under the terms of this License.

                   b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
                   is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
                   accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

                  6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.

                  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
                of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
                versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
                differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

                  Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
                Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
                of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
                applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
                conditions either of that published version or of any later version
                published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
                received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
                General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
                General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

                  If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
                whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
                apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
                permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
                Library.
