Change bzip2 to a less generic license
cover Change bzip2 to a less generic license
The license for bzip2 is not quite BSD. I have an email out to the maintainer to see if we can utilize a common BSD license (or something else) however, for now, we should revert bzip2 back to a special license.
As busybox also utilizes a lightly modified bzip2, this also effects busybox.
The following changes since commit 8609051d8d4f9fa565eb48418a87fa0048613374:
bitbake.conf: Add CCACHE_DISABLE to BS_HASHBASE_WHITELIST (2012-10-02 18:12:48 +0100)

Maybe with PR bumps as license is part of packaged metadata.
