This advice from Omair continue to be very good: #2955 (comment). I also added this file to help. https://github.com/dotnet/core/blob/main/license-information-windows.md. Closing this issue, since I believe this is a satisfactory answer. |
Issue Title
Make license of binaries more clear
General
For binary files list on the official download page: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.1
Its not clear what the license is for each download. Since these are a combination of multiple repositories its not easy to deduce what the actually license is for each file / Operating system.
In https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/blob/master/Documentation/project-docs/copyright.md it states
but doesn't really give any concrete links to which files have which licenses.
Would it be possible to update the download page https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.1 and indicate the license for each of the files?
As of right now, the only indication of the license is the generic "Terms of Use" link at the bottom of the page:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/copyright/default.aspx which basically contradicts the opensource licenses
