You're right, it is (and -f is a mandatory flag so disregard this,
sorry)

typo of mine: the first non-option argument should have been $res, of
course.

essentially you mean (if you say it in sh)
set -f
for lic in ${LICENSE_FILES}
do
  find ${S} -maxdepth ${LICENSE_SEARCH_DEPTH} -name "$lic" | \
    while read f
    do
      bn=$(basename $f)
      if [ -r ${DEPLOY_DIR}/licenses/${PN}/$bn ]; then
        # we could have used $d.$bn for per-dir licenses
        # d=$(echo $f | sed -e "s|${S}||" -e normalize-and-convert-slashes-to-underscore)
        echo "ERROR: possibly conflicting licenses"
        exit 1
      fi
      install -D $f ${DEPLOY_DIR}/licenses/${PN}/$bn
    done
done
set +f

This leaves you with just one non-standard hunk: -maxdepth
Given that both findutils as well as busybox support -maxdepth i would
not bother much.
Just a thought.. your initial version may be sufficient for most
practical reasons.

cheers,
