Having two license strings into one element does give issues when generating the Yocto/OpenEmbedded bitbake recipes for meta-ros.

see: ros/meta-ros@72dfb21

see:
(multiple, but at least one)

Name of license for this package, e.g. BSD, GPL, LGPL.
In order to assist machine readability, only include the license name in this tag.
For multiple licenses multiple separate tags must be used.
A package will have multiple licenses if different source files have different licenses.
Every license occurring in the source files should have a corresponding tag.
For any explanatory text about licensing caveats, please use the tag.
