[yocto] Yet another LIC_FILES_CHKSUM question

In what way does LIC_FILES_CHKSUM correlate to what is specified in LICENSE?
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM *must* be specified unless LICENSE is set to CLOSED.
But, what if the package does not itself provide a license type file?
Is it then ok to simply leave LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "" ?

Also, I could see that there was an Erlang Public License file
available in poky. But the file is named ErlPL-1.1 and there were no
maps attached to it, this patch will add that.
