Er, I think we need to be a little more careful than this. Just because
you want something to be so, doesn't make it happen just like that...

Looking at the commit, I've just copied the license from the original
source which was a GPLv2 recipe (udev). Where did mount.blacklist come
from originally? Is there evidence its MIT licensed? How did meta-oe
conclude this was MIT licensed?

Cheers,
