Description Markus Lehtonen 2016-08-03 13:49:16 UTC 
LICENSE should be a superset of LICENSE_<pkg> variables. That is, LICENSE_<pkg> shouldn't contain anything that is not specified in LICENSE. 

nettle_2.7.1.bb currently has:
LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1 & GPLv2"
LICENSE_${PN} = "LGPLv2.1+"

The most obvious fix would be:
-LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1 & GPLv2"
+LICENSE = "LGPLv2.1+ & GPLv2"

But I'm not sure if this is correct.
