license: manifest and license path

This is a fairly large commit, so I want to step through some of
what this accomplishes:

1. Additional licenses

I've added/modified/corrected some of the common licenses
within OE-core in prep. for a major license audit. Most of these
are in SPDX format. A few, there is no OSI equivalent.

2. Additional SPDX mappings

I've added some additional SPDX mappings to account for removing
some duplicate licenses. (ie GPL-2 and GPL-2.0 were the same)
I've also remapped a few things to more accurately reflect what
they should be pointing at.

Note: Artistic/LGPL/GPL/MPL. Quite a few LICENSE fields list these
licenses. They make no sense and need auditing. In a future commit
I have some fixes to particularly egregious LICENSE fields, but
a full audit should be done. I've listed to obvious candidates at:

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/License_Audit

3. License manifest

We now have a license manifest generation that occurs in rootfs for
everything BUT .deb. This requires the changes Paul Eggleton has
done to rootfs_* particularly the list_installed_packages function.
The manifest is accurate during a parallel bitbake now (Weee!) and
is prime for my planned SPDX format manifest during the next period.

4. License manifest on image.

We also want the ability to add licenses to the image. This
functionality is also in base-files and will be stripped out in my
next commit. The manifest is not added by default and is a two var
setting in license.conf:

If I want *just* the manifest on the image (small) then I set:
COPY_LIC_MANIFEST = "1"

This copies the manifest to:

/usr/share/common-licenses/license.manifest

If I want the actual PKG license text on the image (much larger)
I need to set both both COPY_LIC_MANIFEST and COPY_LIC_DIRS in
license.conf. This will create:

/usr/share/common-licenses/(package name)/(licenses in LIC_SRC_URI)

Word of warning. This can be larger than wanted depending on image
and is probably ripe for linking licenses, but I ran out of time this
week to get that done.

5. Custom License search path.

We now have the ability to add licenses to the build without touching
common-licenses. This is set via license.conf:

LICENSE_PATH += "/path/to/custom/licenses"

You want to make sure the license is unique. license.bbclass picks the
first license it finds.

-have made, and import the Original Work and Derivative Works.
-
-3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the
-preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and all
-available documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. Licensor
-agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original
-Work along with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes.
-Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a machine-

-Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work.
-
-4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor the names

-You have modified the Original Work.
-
-7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. The Original Work is
-provided under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY,
-either express or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of

-consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or
-the use of the Original Work including, without limitation, damages for loss of
-goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other
-commercial damages or losses. This limitation of liability shall not apply to

-effort under the circumstances to obtain the express assent of recipients to
-the terms of this License. This License conditions your rights to undertake the
-activities listed in Section 1, including your right to create Derivative Works
-based upon the Original Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and
-conditions is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty. Nothing in

-shall terminate immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the rights
-granted to You by this License upon your failure to honor the conditions in
-Section 1(c).

-make it enforceable.
-
-14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout
-this License, whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal
-entity exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this
-License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls,

-shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.

-15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise
-restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor promises not
-to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You.
-
-16) Modification of This License. This License is Copyright © 2005 Lawrence
-Rosen. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, or communicate this License
-without modification. Nothing in this License permits You to modify this
-License as applied to the Original Work or to Derivative Works. However, You
-may modify the text of this License and copy, distribute or communicate your
-modified version (the "Modified License") and apply it to other
-original works of authorship subject to the following conditions: (i) You may
-not indicate in any way that your Modified License is the "Open Software
-License" or "OSL" and you may not use those names in the name of
-your Modified License; (ii) You must replace the notice specified in the first
-paragraph above with the notice "Licensed under <insert your license name
-here>" or with a notice of your own that is not confusingly similar to the
-notice in this License; and (iii) You may not claim that your original works
-are open source software unless your Modified License has been approved by Open
-Source Initiative (OSI) and You comply with its license review and
-certification process.
-
-17) Non-Profit Amendment. The name of this amended version of the Open Software
-License ("OSL 3.0") is "Non-Profit Open Software License
-3.0". The original OSL 3.0 license has been amended as follows:
-
-(a) Licensor represents and declares that it is a not-for-profit organization
-that derives no revenue whatsoever from the distribution of the Original Work
-or Derivative Works thereof, or from support or services relating thereto.
-
-(b) The first sentence of Section 7 ["Warranty of Provenance"] of OSL
-3.0 has been stricken. For Original Works licensed under this Non-Profit OSL
-3.0, LICENSOR OFFERS NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER.
-
-(c) In the first sentence of Section 8 ["Limitation of Liability"] of
-this Non-Profit OSL 3.0, the list of damages for which LIABILITY IS LIMITED now
-includes "direct" damages.
-
-(d) The proviso in Section 1(c) of this License now refers to this "Non-
-Profit Open Software License" rather than the "Open Software
-License". You may distribute or communicate the Original Work or
-Derivative Works thereof under this Non-Profit OSL 3.0 license only if You make
-the representation and declaration in paragraph (a) of this Section 17.
-Otherwise, You shall distribute or communicate the Original Work or Derivative
-Works thereof only under the OSL 3.0 license and You shall publish clear
-licensing notices so stating. Also by way of clarification, this License does
-not authorize You to distribute or communicate works under this Non-Profit OSL
-3.0 if You received them under the original OSL 3.0 license.
-
-(e) Original Works licensed under this license shall reference "Non-Profit
-OSL 3.0" in licensing notices to distinguish them from works licensed
-under the original OSL 3.0 license.
