Description Jonathan Liu 2014-09-25 09:00:36 UTC 
The dbus recipe has LICENSE = "AFL-2 | GPLv2+" but the generated license.manifest has:
PACKAGE NAME: dbus-1
PACKAGE VERSION: 1.6.18
RECIPE NAME: dbus
LICENSE: AFL-2 GPLv2+

It is not clear whether from the manifest that there is an OR.
Ideally the OR/AND and grouping operators should also be included in license.manifest so that the licensing is clear when COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1" is set in local.conf.

FWIW this is still an issue in master. I'm guessing it has been this way since the beginning.
