Hi André,

However the flag is documented like this in ‘configure.ac’:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
AC_ARG_ENABLE(gpl,
AS_HELP_STRING(--enable-gpl, [allow the inclusion of GPL-licensed code,
building a version of tor and libtor covered by the GPL rather than its usual
3-clause BSD license]))
license_option=BSD
AS_IF([test "x$enable_gpl" = xyes],
[
AC_DEFINE(ENABLE_GPL, 1, [Defined if tor is building in GPL-licensed mode.])
license_option=GPL
])
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
That said, although that’s unwritten, the ‘license’ field describes the
license of the package itself, not that of the combination with its
dependencies, so I’d leave it at ‘bsd-3’.
Thanks,
Ludo’.
