> 
> This commit pulls the SPDX license list and license text from

> (remove .txt extention and remove GPL+ licenses).
> 
> Eventually we should probably consider using the actual repository

> 
> It adds quite a number of new licenses and formats the license
> text we have so that it matches what is currently in the SPDX
> tree.
> 
> This patch also adds these licenses to SRC_DISTRIBUTE_LICENSES in
> conf/licenses.conf
> 
> I've avoided adding these to the SPDX mapping variable as most of
> that was only needed for backwards compatibility.

The license texts as taken directly from the SPDX repository do 
not seem suitable for inclusion in an image as they are full of 
conditional <<...>> tags as per above. You probably need to post-
process the files and replace all tags with something suitable...
