Hello,

The following two recipes use the similar sources, but their LICENSE are 
different
in the recipe:

meta-selftest/recipes-test/recipeutils/recipeutils-test_1.2.bb
SRC_URI = "http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/lib/libxshmfence-1.2.tar.bz2";
LICENSE = "Proprietary"

meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-lib/libxshmfence_1.3.bb
SRC_URI = "https://www.x.org/releases//individual/lib/libxshmfence-1.3.tar.bz2";
LICENSE = "MIT"

There is a COPYING file inside ibxshmfence-1.2.tar.bz2 and libxshmfence-1.3.tar.bz2, they exactly the same:

$ diff libxshmfence-1.2/COPYING libxshmfence-1.3/COPYING

Please check the end for the full contents of COPYING, it's not either MIT or
Proprietary, but should be a free software.

How to fix the LICENSE name, please? Add a license file called libxshmfence? Any comments is appreciated.

Here is the COPYING:
