The Yocto project seems store all license info on the target filesystem.
With the large companies like Intel (with a large number of lawyers)
that are part of the Yocto project, I assume it is done to reduce the
risk of non-compliance. Even if might be over kill.

PS: IANAL, but some way stranger demands came from a lawyer from a big
German company (that just mentioned it would let go 9000 ppl.)
