                         Specifying the matching license string signifies that you agree to the license.
                         Thus, the build system can build the corresponding recipe and include
                         the component in the image.

                         License flag matching allows you to control what recipes the
                 OpenEmbedded build system includes in the build.
                 Fundamentally, the build system attempts to match

                 A match causes the build system to include a recipe in the
                 build, while failure to find a match causes the build system to
                 exclude a recipe.
