[yocto] LICENSE = "GPL" -- problem?

[Wolfgang Denk]

Hi,

we noticed warnings like "No generic license file exists for: GPL in
any provider" for our own linux kernel recipe.  The cause wa the use
of an entry

	LICENSE = "GPL"

which whould read "GPLv2" instead of "GPL".  A scan detected that the
same string "GPL" is used in a number of other recipes:

bitbake/lib/bb/shell.py:LICENSE = "GPL"
meta/recipes-kernel/kern-tools/kern-tools-native_git.bb:LICENSE = "GPL"
meta/recipes-kernel/linux/linux-dummy.bb:LICENSE = "GPL"
meta/recipes-bsp/x-load/x-load.inc:LICENSE = "GPL"
meta/recipes-devtools/gcc/gcc-common.inc:LICENSE = "GPL"
meta/recipes-devtools/unifdef/unifdef-native_2.6.18+git.bb:LICENSE = "GPL"

Eventually these should be fixed, too?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
