Even after this is applied, there are still nine recipes in OE-Core
that reference ${COREBASE}/LICENSE. There is also an example in
dev-manual-common-tasks.xml with a reference to ${COREBASE}/LICENSE.
AFAICT, they all look just like the ones that this patch removes.
Any reason they were not fixed as well?
There are also 17 recipes in OpenEmbedded with a reference to
${COREBASE}/LICENSE. They too need to be fixed.
