There are 2 git repos: _openembedded-core_ and _meta-openembedded._

_openembedded-core_ has _oe-init-build-env_ to create the build
environment.
_meta-openembedded_ has the recipe for _spidev-test_

If I use _oe-init-build-env_ from _openembedded-core_ to create the env
vars then try: 

   $ bitbake -b spidev-test.bb 

I get into those licencing issues.  

How do I extricate myself from this conundrum?
