License Approval Module

For distributions shipping proprietary software, this module creates a Global Storage entry when the user accepts or declines one or more of the End User License Agreements files that are presented here.

The number of licenses shown are configurable. The license.conf file has a few examples of how to add URLs.

If you do not want to include this module in your Calamares build, add -DSKIP_MODULES="license" to your build settings (CMake call).

How to implement the removal or not installing of proprietary software is up to any distribution to implement. For example, proprietary graphics drivers cannot simply be removed in the packages module, a free version will need to be installed.

An example of where the licenseAgree globalstorage entry is used: https://github.com/KaOSx/calamares/blob/master/src/modules/nonfree_drivers/main.py
