Hi Ross,

I'm currently writing the doc patch for LICENSE_FLAGS_DETAILS.
However, I don't find the current behavior optimal...

Don't prefix the output of LICENSE_FLAGS_DETAILS with "For further
details, see" so that recipes can put arbitrary text in their license
details instead of being limited to a specific sentence structure.

What about
message += ' ' + details
instead?

Otherwise, you have to add a leading space to LICENSE_FLAGS_DETAILS.
What do you think?
Throwing in a newline or a space seems sensible, yes.  Want to send a patch?

FWIW the recipes in meta-arm put a newline at the beginning, so adding a blank 
line if details is set seems fairly sensible.

Thanks Ross, good idea!
I sent a patch, but been in a rush, forgot to add you to a "Reported-by" line.

Thanks again
Michael.
