Bundle-License

The Bundle-License header provides machine-readable license information for the bundle. It can list one or more licenses, separated by commas, and may include additional attributes such as a description or a link to the license text.

Example:

Bundle-License: Apache-2.0;description='Apache License, Version 2.0';link='https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0'

This header is optional but recommended for clarity and compliance. It helps users and tools understand the licensing terms of the bundle.

	/*
 * Bundle-License header
 */
private void doLicense(BundleLicense annotation) {
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(annotation.name());
	if (!annotation.description().equals(""))
		sb.append(";description='").append(annotation.description().replaceAll("'", "\\'")).append("'");
	if (!annotation.link().equals(""))
		sb.append(";link='").append(annotation.link().replaceAll("'", "\\'")).append("'");
	add(Constants.BUNDLE_LICENSE, sb.toString());
}
