Understood, thanks. I’ll have to take a look. At Mentor we’ve been using
the license manifest coupled with
https://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-mentor/blob/master/classes/deploy-license-manifest.bbclass.
We’ll probably keep both, use yours for more convenient user examination,
and keep the rest for sending off to legal departments and whatnot.
