- Committer has decided on the licensing for the patch
- Stakeholders and Interests:
- Patch Provider:

- To have their licenses respected
- Upstream maintainers:
- To be able to document the license information for the patches they receive
- To have a paper trail of the licensing information for their project.
- To have their licenses respected
- Third party patch appliers (think Yocto):
- To be able to know whether or not they have licensing issues when they apply a patch ot upstream.
- Consumers of upstream source:
- To receive accurate and clear information of licensing of upstream source
- To be able to comply easily with licenses for upstream source
- To be able to subset, extend, or aggregate artifacts and pass on clear authoritative verifiable license for the resulting new copyrightable artifacts.
- Patch Provider:
- Main Success Senario: Patch supplier communicates the licensing information for their patch.
