Yeah.... in this case, I would do one of two things (and I have a
feeling one will be more valid that the other):

1. Email the author and see if we can use BSD-4-Clause. My guess is no.
2. We'll need to add a Netperf license to common-licenses and set
LICENSE = "Netperf"

I've checked the openSuSE Build Service and they have this as an
"Other" license, so, check with the author first, but be prepared to
add Netperf to the common-licenses directory.

And yes, Koen is right. I wouldn't use BSD or MIT for this,
specifically because of the non-commercial clause in (ii).
