Description Frederik Sdun 2015-08-03 10:53:50 UTC 
nano changed to GPLv3 7 years ago (see commit in URL), but meta-oe still uses GPLv2 as LICENSE.
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM was updated, but LICENSE field wasn't adjusted.
Comment 1 Paul Eggleton 2015-08-06 14:50:38 UTC 
The nano recipe is in meta-oe as you've noted, and I'm afraid the Yocto Project doesn't generally maintain recipes in that layer. In general issues with meta-oe  should be reported to the openembedded-devel@lists.openembedded.org mailing list so that someone there can look into it.

This does look like something that should be corrected fairly swiftly though.
