license.bbclass: allow copying license not in common licenses
Some package like linux-firmware has many licenses that aren't in any way common, and new ones will be added from time to time, in order to avoid adding bunch of such common license files that are only applicable to a specific package, NO_GENERIC_LICENSE is added to allow copying license not in common licenses, it should be used in the recipe as: NO_GENERIC_LICENSE[<license_name>] = "<license file in fetched source>" e.g. NO_GENERIC_LICENSE[Firmware-Abilis] = "LICENCE.Abilis.txt" (From OE-Core rev: 56930227128d55dab22f79138152b29cf040ceff) Signed-off-by: Jackie Huang <jackie.huang@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
