Setting <filename>LICENSE_CREATE_PACKAGE</filename>
to "1" causes the OpenEmbedded build system to create
an extra package (i.e.
<filename>${</filename><link linkend='var-PN'><filename>PN</filename></link><filename>}-lic</filename>)
for each recipe and to add those packages to the
<link linkend='var-RRECOMMENDS'><filename>RRECOMMENDS</filename></link><filename>_${PN}</filename>.
</para>
<para>
The <filename>${PN}-lic</filename> package installs a
directory in <filename>/usr/share-licenses</filename>
named <filename>${PN}</filename>, which is the recipe's
base name, and installs files in that directory that
contain license and copyright information (i.e. copies of
the appropriate license files from
<filename>meta/common-licenses</filename> that match the
licenses specified in the
<link linkend='var-LICENSE'><filename>LICENSE</filename></link>
variable of the recipe metadata and copies of files marked
in
<link linkend='var-LIC_FILES_CHKSUM'><filename>LIC_FILES_CHKSUM</filename></link>
as containing license text).
