The license, in the LICENSE field, is not changed and this checksum was
just to allow the recipe to be parsed. It makes more sense to use the
respective license file. The best fix is, in future, Freescale, include a
proper license file on the release tarball of those packages but in
meanwhile is the a good interim solution.

When we have multiple, we can use the checksums for the specific files as
well.

I only proposed the direct change which matches the changed checksum.

I'd like to ask you to just do as I said above. I can ask Lauren to review
those patches before commiting those so we are all comfortable with the
change.

What do you think?
