Add license
Issue #12
resolved
Hi there, glad to report that the aria2 recipe is still working well.
The old OpenWrt forum is gone and not many knows about this minimalist script.
I would like to put leech in the OpenWrt packages repo but a license tag is needed.
Could you kindly specify a license for the use of this repository? Thanks!

The license tag is a required package metadata (https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
While having a control file is good, I thought it would be better if leech is packaged officially so that it can be easily bundled with OpenWrt images.
A quick scan in the repo shows that there are existing packages with Unlicense, 0BSD, CC0, and NLPL but none with WTFPL. leech could be the first

2378e734 adds COPYING file.
I believe SPDX identifier for it is
blessing. However you might want to look into sqlite3 package, it has another string in PKG_LICENSE even though it's not a SPDX identifier.Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

Oof, this is tough one. leech is intentionally unlicensed (still free and open-source software).
But i see why you opened this issue. If you don’t want to put files without license tag on LEDE servers, then you could probably do wget in INSTALL script. This is not ideal, but i think this will work. There is also control file for OpenWrt in repo too.
To make this simpler i could look into other workarounds too, but no promises. Do you need OSI-approved license or any COPYING file would do? What about something like WTFPL?
