The LICENSE field generally has a few requirements to work correctly for license.bbclass. One, it should be python-esque to parse correctly. Two, it should use one of two standards. If you look in meta/files/common-licenses you'll see a list of license text from SPDX. If you look in license.bbclass, you'll also see a bunch of mappings for backwards compatability: SPDXLICENSEMAP[MIT-X] = "MIT" LICENSE should use either the file name in common-licenses, or, the mapping. In this case, we have the mapping for LICENSE, so MIT-X is perfectly valid. -b > > [1] http://www.xfree86.org/current/LICENSE5.html > [2] > http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/x/x11-xserver-utils/x11-xserver-utils_7.6+3/x11-xserver-utils.copyright > [3] http://gpo.zugaina.org/x11-apps/iceauth/euscan > > Signed-off-by: Paul Menzel <paulepan...@users.sourceforge.net> > --- > I do not know anything about license names and just checked the WWW.
