The functions in license.py will need to be standalone, they can't easily
call code within a bblcass, only other functions within that module. That
suggests you may need to move other functions, or maybe not move them at
all, it depends what the code is doing really.
We also need to be mindful about dependency tracking. Code in bbclass
files is scanned for variable dependencies, so a getVar("XXX") will
automatically add a dependency on XXX for the generation of task hashes.
Once the code moves to license.py, this does not happen so we have to
account for it manually if needed.
Cheers,
Richard
