Other license-related notes:

-  When creating recipes for Python software, recipetool will now treat "BSD" as "BSD-3-Clause" for the purposes of setting :term:`LICENSE`, as that is the most common understanding.
-  Please be aware that an :term:`Initramfs` bundled with the kernel using :term:`INITRAMFS_IMAGE_BUNDLE` should only contain GPLv2-compatible software; this is now mentioned in the documentation.
