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 = "GPLv2"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://${COREBASE}/meta/files/common-licenses/GPL-2.0;md5=801f80980d171dd6425610833a22dbe6"

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"
