Yocto Project pre-defined licenses for LIC FILES CHKSUM
When a new Yocto Project recipe is created it is mandatory to specify the proper license and the checksum for the license description file.
All the pre-defined license files are provided by the OpenEmbedded Core component and are located into the Yocto Project directory
meta/files/common-licenses
The variable LIC_FILES_CHKSUM defines the URI pointing to the license file in the source code as well as its checksum.
The licenses available are listed below (version dunfell):

License files must have their own checksum.
The typical usage could be
LICENSE = "GPLv2"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COREBASE}/meta/files/common-licenses/GPL-2.0;md5=801f80980d171dd6425610833a22dbe6"
or
LICENSE = "GPLv2"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM ?= "file://${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/GPL-2.0;md5=801f80980d171dd6425610833a22dbe6"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM is mandatory in every recipe, unless LICENSE is set to CLOSED.
LICENSE = "CLOSED" # No need for LIC_FILES_CHKSUM valiable in this case
