The license type tag should be in the form suggested by the Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) license list. Using these normalized tags will aide us in filtering packages based on license type. See below for a abbreviated list of some common license tags.
(E.g.: PKG_LICENSE:=GPL-2.0+; PKG_LICENSE_FILE:=COPYING)
* A PKG_LICENSE tag declaring the main license of the package.
(E.g.: PKG_LICENSE:=GPL-2.0+) Please use SPDX identifiers if possible (see list at the bottom).
* An optional PKG_LICENSE_FILE including the filename of the license-file in the source-package.
