"Issues with licensing checksums and broken dependencies" means not following 
instructions in the README file, which clearly says if you don't use meta-oe, 
you need BBMASK.

BTW, it used to work and not complain about missing license even w/o BBMASK 
until some time recently, when a more stricter QA check was added to 
oe-core/bitbake. We've discussed it on #yocto some time ago and I have a small 
workaround for that pending...

Again, read the README file carefully, which is supplied with meta-ti, as 
well as all the other layers.
