Hi, do license files for statically linked libraries get somehow on the target image? I'm thinking of how license.bbclass works, as far as I understand it gathers all relevant license files basing on the recipe fields like LICENSE and LIC_FILES_CHKSUM of installed packages. If a recipe is only DEPENDant (and not RDEPENDand) to a library and uses only static files from it the dependency in question is not installed on the target. Will the license text files of the dependency be installed though? If I recall correctly for example native DEPENDencies don't get their license text installed so are static devs somehow special? I have similar case here, not exactly about static libraries but I have a case where a recipe I want to write depends build-time but not runtime on some BSD licensed component. If I make separate recipe for that component which will not install anything to runtime image will the license text get installed?
