Fixed, patch will be in master-poky/master-1_5-1909

This is returning a file name, but it should be returning the full path to the license files. So, for example, for psplash, licensing_info returns 

file://psplash.h

When it should return:

/home/<user>/poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/psplash/0.1+gitAUTOINC+afd4e228c6-r15/license-destdir/psplash/

Also, it very often returns "not available". An example for base-passwd is below:

{\"description\": \"The master copies of the user database files (/etc/passwd and /etc/group).  The update-passwd tool is also provided to keep the system databases synchronized with these master files.\", \"license\": \"GPLv2+\", \"author\": \"Not Available\", \"bugtracker\": \"\", \"section\": \"base\", \"layer_version\": 23, \"licensing_info\": \"Not Available\", \"summary\": \"Base system master password/group files.\", \"version\": \":3.5.26-r2\", \"homepage\": \"unknown\", \"file_path\": \"/home/yocto/poky/meta/recipes-core/base-passwd/base-passwd_3.5.26.bb\", \"name\": \"base-passwd\"}}

The licensing_info field should return:

/home/<user>/poky/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/base-passwd/3.5.26-r2/license-destdir/base-passwd/

Fixed in poky-contrib:toaster/master 	60d06c661730aa349befe1daef487ae9190f954d

We are removing this field from the recipes table. See bug 5647

I will set this bug to verified since we have bug 5647 and we are not interested in the field licensing_info.
