From: Scott Rifenbark <scott.m.rifenbark at intel.com>

In chapter 2 where we talk about building images I added a new
note indicating that the user should not switch around using different
GPL versions when trying to rebuild an image as it can cause dependency
failures.

+        When building an image using GPL components you need to maintain your original 
+        settings and not switch back and forth applying different versions of the GNU
+        Public License.  If you rebuild using different versions of GPL you can get 
+        dependency errors due to some components not being rebuilt.
