This variable is only used by populate_lic tasks (gcc-source overrides it) and refers to BPN. In recipes like gcc, where there are multiple variants, it is resulting in sstate objects which encode PN (they install into a PN subdir) but the sstate object reflects BPN. This leads to corruption between then and eventually, warnings from image builds like: WARNING: The license listed GPLv3 was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc WARNING: The license listed GPL-3.0-with-GCC-exception was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc WARNING: The license listed GPLv3 was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc WARNING: The license listed NCSA was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc-sanitizers WARNING: The license listed MIT was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc-sanitizers WARNING: The license listed GPL-3.0-with-GCC-exception was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc WARNING: The license listed GPLv3 was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc WARNING: The license listed NCSA was not in the licenses collected for recipe gcc-sanitizers By referring to PN, as used by license.bbclass, this issue is resolved.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp): Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
