This is correct if the md5sum of COPYING is matching.

Since the source is created in a subdirectory, you need to reset the $S as:

S = "${WORKDIR}/SDL-${PV}"

${PV} is derived from the version of the recipe, you do not need to set 
it explicitly.

By setting S as above this will give the file:// root to be under the 
SDL-1.2.14 directory.
