meta-networking: fping license

meta-networking: fping license

[Armin Kuster]

Hello,

The LICENSE listed in this recipe is "BSD" and it clearly is not that
nor could I find the below wording matching any of the BSD variants (
Not a Lawyer). Now that SPDX data can be generated easier from core,
this may barf with the invalid "License".  This is the last outstanding
invalid BSD license in meta-oe and if anyone uses this package, maybe
you can dig into finding out what the proper license should be.
