My goal is to have a single place where the licenses of the target packages
are collected (think of it like export_src for license information - license
names and license text). 

Motivation:
- Some packages have additional clauses to the license text (Qt for instances). 
  So it would be a benefit to have the text from the package.
- If you deliver binaries of a BSP (preinstalled or for download) some licenses
  force you to supply the license text with the binary
- In some cases non developers need to look over the licenses
- AFAIK other build tools (yocto, buildroot) has similar features

Hope this helps

Markus
