Joe MacDonald 85ab35f4ed netperf: Correct license flags
From: Mark Hatle <mark.hatle@windriver.com>

   I was helping someone with building netperf from meta-networking last
   night, and stumbled on what I think is a bug.

   SUMMARY = "A networking benchmarking tool"
   DESCRIPTION = "Network performance benchmark including tests for TCP,
   UDP, sockets, ATM and more."
   SECTION = "console/network"
   HOMEPAGE = "http://www.netperf.org/"
   LICENSE = "netperf"
   LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"

   In the above, the LICENSE_FLAGS are set to 'commercial'.  I think this
   is incorrect.  It should be set to 'non-commercial'.

   There is a subtle difference between them which is why I think it's a
   bug...

   commercial -- there are some commercial requirements necessary to use
   this recipe in a commercial device... you are responsible for
   understanding them and doing whatever is necessary... (for
   non-commercial devices you can likely use it...)

   non-commercial -- this item is restricted to non-commercial users only.
   As in the case of netperf, the license says it's only for
   non-commercial use.

   So anyway, my suggestion is to simply change the value of the flag.

meta-networking
===============

This layer is intended to be a central point for networking-related
packages and configuration.  It should be useful directly on top of
oe-core and compliments meta-openembedded.  It should be primarily useful
to the following groups:

      - Anyone building a small networking device (eg. a home router /
        bridge / switch).

      - Anyone wanting to add network services to their device (eg.
        anything that might benefit from a small ftp/tftp server)

Dependencies
------------

This layer depends on:

URI: git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core
branch: master
revision: HEAD

Maintenance
-----------

Please see the MAINTAINERS file for information on contacting the
maintainers of this layer, as well as instructions for submitting patches.
