Adding @ashoat as blocking because it's license-related changes.

Harbormaster failed remote builds in B10579: Diff 14567!Jul 18 2022, 5:24 AM

Android build failure is unrelated to these changes it's about a connection refused from the OpenSSL website (seems it was down).

It should just be "BSD-3-Clause", not "BSD 3-Clause 'New' or 'Revised' License". https://spdx.github.io/license-list-data/BSD-3-Clause.html

Also, do we really need a license for the binaries?

Change license name to the BSD-3-Clause.

Thanks for fixing this. Still curious if others think we need a license for the binaries

Seems to be that... I've changed the license's name.

Also, do we really need a license for the binaries?

I think it's a legal requirement, but curious about @ashoat comment. If we don't need to attach a license, I'll just remove it everywhere in the Cargo.toml.

Harbormaster completed remote builds in B10588: Diff 14579.Jul 18 2022, 11:11 AM

I don't think we need to list a license here unless we publish these crates. If we publish then it's probably a good idea to list a license. Either way we should avoid introducing a different license for any of these. Probably no downside in adding the license to the individual Cargo.tomls
