This behaviour is intentional, as recipetool isn't smart enough to read the
licensing terms and decide if there are multiple licenses in aggregate (&)
or a choice of licenses (|).  The solution is to list all the licenses that
have been found, let bitbake throw a warning, and the person creating a
recipe comprehend the licensing situation and add the relevant operations.
