Hossein ea5641baee Updated README.md files to represent current code / use Markdown format
Previously, all of the README files have been renamed to README.md
and now, the contents of these files were changed to use Markdown
format. Other than format inconsistency, some README.md files lacked
information about modules, or were out of date. By using LibreOffice
/ OpenOffice wiki and other documentation websites, these files were
updated. Now every README.md file has a title, and some description.
The top-level README.md file is changed to add links to the modules.
The result of processing the Markdown format README.md files can be
seen at: https://docs.libreoffice.org/

LibreOffice Licensing Blurb

Contains the stock libreoffice licensing blurb, as distributed in the install directory, and also potentially at run-time.

Generating Licence Files

License files are generated from a single source file (license/license.xml). Output file formats are plain text and html.

  • The plain text and the html format is generated with XSLT. There are two separate XSL files for plain text and html.

Conditional Text

The contents of the license file depends on the build configuration. Several externals may or may not be shipped with LibreOffice. Therefore, we need to pass information about build configuration to the XSLT processor.

Variables used for conditional text:

  • BUILD_TYPE: A space separated list of libraries/externals. If an external is present in that list, then the related license text should be included.

  • MPL_SUBSET: If the variable is defined, then GPL and LGPL license text will not be included, because none of the built-in code need it.

  • OS: The target platform. E.g. MSVC Runtime is packaged and used only on Windows.

  • WITH_THEMES: A space separated list of icon sets that are used in the build.

Conditional text are surrounded by and extra <div> tag. The class attribute of that <div> tag decides which parameter values are taken into consideration.
