After the debate on IRC that spawn the request to add GPL-2 to LICENSE
for all the packages that install init scripts, I would expect that
the LICENSE applies primarily to the installed-image but when
necessary/different would also apply to an upstream distfile and its
contents. However, it is safe to exclude licenses of patches,
contributed files, etc. that are stored in ${FILESDIR}.
Is this interpretation correct?
