Updating OS Package metadata: license and description

[doggydogworld]

Updates our OS packages (.rpm, .deb, etc) metadata to be up-to-date. Previous to this change it contained out-of-date information for our license and description.

changelog: Our OSS OS packages (rpm, deb, etc) now have up-to-date metadata.

LGTM provided that this builds/releases without issue

See comment.

Also note that the licensing rules changed with v16, so this should not be backported to v15.

[zmb3]

The packages we distribute are governed by build.assets/LICENSE-community, NOT by AGPLv3.

We should change this (is there a way to use a custom license in a package?), and we should also be including a copy of LICENSE-community in the package itself.

[doggydogworld]

Ah ok the task we had wasn't entirely clear on what was necessary. Thanks for the additional context.

We should be able to use a custom license. Afaik this just takes in an arbitrary string. Unfortunately there's not really a way to query for the contents of the license itself. Maybe we could provide a link to the license in the description?

Adding the LICENSE-community should be easy enough though. Just need to update build-archive to include it in the tarball.

[zmb3]

I suppose its even a little more complicated than that, as the -ent packages are not governed by LICENSE-community.
