[oe] LICENSE, LICENSE and LICENSE

Sat Oct 16 19:15:54 UTC 2010

Dear all,

Being bored while waiting for a build to finish, I decided to to a
grep for LICENSE on recipes/*/*

As already reported on an earlier email about 375 recipes have no
LICENSE (according to recipe_sanity).

After a little bit of editing and sorting I came to the list at the
end of this email.
First digit is the number a license occurs, 2nd field is the license itself.

Some concerns:
- GPL seems to be the most widely string used, but this does not say
too much. Is this v1, v2, v3, or maybe v1+, v2+, v3+
- Using ${PN} as license string might seem as a nifty way to save
typing a few letters, but it does not help with scripts that process
recipes
- we seem not too consistent wrt spelling wand writing things (for
example: GPLv2, GPLV2, GPL-2, GPL2)
- some of these use licenses that I have never heard of and for some I
have some doubts (e.g "closed" "various" "as-is" "python-style" ...)

BTW: I've no plans to clean this up. I've been there in another world,
and it is boring like hell (and in that world I was at least paid for
it)
Just want to pass the results.

Frans.
