[PATCH] qt4-embedded: append qt4-embedded LICENSE setting

[Chase Maupin]

* Append the qt4-embedded LICENSE field to LGPLv2.1 to reflect
  the license we are distributing this under.
* This is similar to the amend used in the old arago overlay

I'm still not convinced about recipes-bbappends. What do you see are the 
benefits? Are you afraid of losing track of .bbappends among real recipes? 
There are tools for that, such as bitbake-layers.

Qt recipes live in recipes-qt/qt4 in OE-Core and corresponding bbappends in 
meta-oe are at the same location. Why do we need a different one for Arago? 
bitbake-layers would allow you to examine the recipe overlaying and 
modifications from .bbappends...

Re: [PATCH] qt4-embedded: append qt4-embedded LICENSE setting

[Maupin, Chase]

I realize there are tools for handling bbappends and I've used some of them before.  But what I saw with arago in the past was that amends were added to work around some issue temporarily while the fix was being pushed upstream, but then kind of lost in the mix or forgotten about.  I guess what I was hoping for was that by placing the bbappends in a single directory that we could have an easy focal point for what we should be trying to reduce or keep minimal.  Basically out of sight out of mind is what I'm trying to avoid.

But, I'm not married to this.  At the end of the day I am willing to go with whatever makes sense to the most people and we could use one of the tools to check for appends that no longer apply, as well as a list of which recipes are being appended.
