License issues for assimp_5.0.1.bb

[Robert Yang]

Hello,

It seems that meta/recipes-graphics/vulkan/assimp_5.0.1.bb has license issues,
its license is BSD-3-Clause in the LICENSE file, but a few files can't
be redistributed with out written permissions:

It seems that we even can't add these files to a mirror like:

http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/mirror/sources/git2/github.com.assimp.assimp.git/


Maybe we should add LICENSE_FLAGS or remove the recipe?

I'm not sure what, if anything, uses assimp anymore - it used to be a
dependency of (old) vulkan-demos, but not anymore. And nothing in meta-oe.
Qt5/6 has it as an optional dependency in qt3d, off by default.

I'd say, remove.

Thanks, makes sense, I will send a patch for it a few minutes later.
