You could ignore it, or you could fix the linux-xilinx recipe. FYI what it's really saying is "GPL" by itself is not really specific enough. The recipe should be stating "GPLv2" or "GPLv3" or whichever version the software being built is really licensed under. Being that it sounds like it's the Linux kernel one would assume "GPLv2" would be the correct answer for the linux- xilinx recipe. Cheers, Paul -- Paul Eggleton Intel Open Source Technology Centre
