The actual problem is that this does not do what LIC_FILES_CHKSUM is 
supposed to do.

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM should verify that the license information in the 
software hasn't changed when upgrading it.

These recipes check the copy of the license text in OE instead,
which wouldn't change if the license of python-scrypt would change.
