         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.
