[License-review] Submission of the European Space Agency Public Licenses (ESA-PL) for approval

[Tzeng, Nigel H.]

While we generate such a file to meet the NOSA 1.3 Section 1.C
requirements using:


git log  --all --pretty=format:"%ad %d %s (%aN)"


it would be more helpful if one could simply provide the git repo of all
the source changes and allow the user to peruse the change history in any
manner they wish.

Even with the log it doesn¹t identify which lines we changed in what
files.  If anyone wishes to determine the provenance of any given
file/line/class the log file by itself wouldn¹t let them do soŠthey¹d
still want a copy of the repo.  Or an annoying diff file.

I understand the desire and need to document these changes.  I would
prefer a less prescriptive manner in fulfilling these requirements.

I assume that when we deliver flight or instrument software that we don¹t
have to include the changelog file with the copy of the software aboard
the spacecraft itself. :)
