Recipes whose only sources are files from this layer have no upstream license file to checksum. OE-Core points LIC_FILES_CHKSUM at ${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR} for such recipes (e.g. ssh-pregen-hostkeys, systemd-machine-units), but oelint.var.licenseremotefile flags any file:// path built from a variable other than WORKDIR, S or B. The rule is unchanged up to oelint-adv 9.11.3.

Suppress it for the whole layer, next to oelint.var.bbclassextend, so these recipes can use the common license text instead of each shipping a copy. Recipes that fetch a source still checksum the license file it ships.

#135 depends on this: it moves easysplash-config and weston-touch-calibrator-service to ${COMMON_LICENSE_DIR}/MIT.

Tested with contrib/oelint/run-oelint.sh (no findings).
