FWIW: the code was introduced long time ago in bk:// without any license indication:
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/log/packages/makedevs?h=master https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/log/recipes/makedevs?h=master https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/log/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs and the GPL-2.0-or-later license was added much longer in: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/recipes-devtools/makedevs?id=409ac23702058a058c187f22d796eff251a8f18e So I wouldn't say, it's completely clear, but this patch just keeps the same LICENSE value as was set in LICENSE in: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/commit/recipes/makedevs?h=master&id=122efc0b6621f22709fa7f8071392b37ae0d3b02 but using "or-later" version in LIC_FILES_CHKSUM as added in COPYING.patch.
