Assume that LICENSE is saying eg. GPLv2, but the COPYING file provided by the package says GPLv3? Iow, there is a mismatch between the what the recipe says and what the package tells you. I am a little bit confused to how LICENSE and LIC_FILES_CHKSUM really works together? Why do we need two different ways of telling what license we use or actually expect? Or is LICENSE checked against the files pointed to by LIC_FILES_CHKSUM? Should it not always be the file(s) stored in the upstream package that dictates what license should be applied?
