  2. [PATCH] python: python3-idna: fix non-existent Unicode license

Re: [PATCH] python: python3-idna: fix non-existent Unicode license

I think the Unicode should be clear, as the tool (in)directly uses downloads from unicode, but kindly ignores the licensing part of that operation.

Looking into the history of that lib I found https://github.com/kjd/idna/commit/dd8841d50fd506a0b4986542c21fff32ba1779d1, which explains the Python-2.0 part. Not sure, but I think that one can be dropped now.

Maybe someone should raise a ticket upstream to tell them, that even though they convert the upstream unicode data, they still have to apply the unicode terms and conditions

In addition to not being an SPDX license, Unicode license also isn't
available in any of the LICENSE_PATH available in openembedded, meaning
the following warning is printed:

python3-idna: No generic license file exists for: Unicode in any provider [license-exists]

Unfortunately the license is not really explicit in the project. After
looking at the code, it seems that this license gets pulled by
idna/idnadata.py and idna/uts46data.py which are auto-generated by
tools/idna-data which downloads data from
http://www.unicode.org/Public/{version}/ucd/ and
http://www.unicode.org/Public/idna/ which are covered by
https://www.unicode.org/license.txt as mentioned in
https://www.unicode.org/copyright.html.

Comparing https://www.unicode.org/license.txt to Unicode-DFS-2016
resulted in a match so let's point to that SPDX license instead.

I looked at
https://github.com/kjd/idna/blob/master/LICENSE.md
https://pypi.org/project/idna/
and they seem to indicate that it is BSD-3-Clause so where do the
other licenses come from ?
