Amusingly "licensecheck --recursive" doesn't properly pick up the GPLv2 license
header in any of the source files. 

So while all appear to be GPLv2 there's some in generate/unix/iasl/obj/ that
are GPLv3+ so it's possible that at least some binaries are licensed
differently.

I can't find explicitly where it says we need to include a licence/copying file
but in the subpackaging it states the details of it.
