[OE-core] [PATCH] license: Improve disk usage

[Mike Looijmans]

I can probably come up with scenarios where "os.stat(src).st_dev == 
os.stat(destdir).st_dev" but os.link will still fail.

Less code and does not assume that when src and destdir are on the same 
device, they can be linked:

try:
   os.link(src, dst)
except:
   shutil.copyfile(src, dst)

Mike.
