This should reflect reason but overall the patch is ok

Could you please be more specific what should I write?
The long reason is written above the License-Update field, I just added the field to satisfy the patch checker bot.
Putting the whole text to this field doesn't look right.

I don't know the history of glibc license to be able to assess if they migrated recently or if these were just wrongly committed licenses.
I just noticed the commit when updating glibc to the latest hash and decided to correct the recipe LICENSE field according to this hint.
So "correction" looks to me like a good short statement wrt the recipe LICENSE field.

Thanks,
  Peter

its can be changed/corrected from X to Y then point to supporting
links you have cited as links using [1] [2] etc.
