The answer here may be that the layer that adds the recipe (meta-networking in
this case) should add the license rather than it being added to OE-Core. To do
this, add the following to the layer's conf/layer.conf:
LICENSE_PATH += "${LAYERDIR}/licenses"
Then put the netperf file in a "licenses" subdirectory within the layer.
Cheers,
Paul
