Re: [OE-core][kirkstone][PATCH] xz: Update LICENSE variable for xz packages
PD is not a license for legal compliance purposes, but it's a valid
identifier in a recipe's LICENSE field. We have plenty of those
already.
Also, shouldn't this be addressed in master first?

I'm not a copyright lawyer, but from what I understand public domain is not
a licence. For a discussion see
https://wiki.spdx.org/view/Legal_Team/Decisions/Dealing_with_Public_Domain_within_SPDX_Files
The next version of xz will be 0BSD so the statement will change too.

Marta

Update LICENSE defined for xz packages to match the license
information provided in the xz COPYING file.
The License information from PACKAGERS file of xz mentions
packages with lzma files are in public domain.They ask to
use GPLv2+, if only it's not possible to mention "PD and GPLv2+".

xz-dev package contains lzma header
xz-doc package contains lzma man pages
xz packages contains lzma binaries
