Sorry to dredge this up, but when do you see the need to specify a different 
image LICENSE? 

Logically, an image recipe's LICENSE can only refer to the recipe itself and 
whatever files might be pulled in by it directly (usually none, but some 
people re-enable do_fetch and do_unpack to allow this), since otherwise the 
contents of the image are covered by the licenses of all of the recipes that 
build the packages that go into it, and we already assemble a license manifest 
for the image to cover those. Does that match your interpretation?

Cheers,
Paul
