Beth has covered the part about adding the license text, the only remaining 
piece is how you should set LICENSE within your recipe; assuming you would 
call this SGI license SGI-1 based on what you said above you would set LICENSE 
as follows:

LICENSE = "GPLv3+ & SGI-1"

("&" means different licences apply to different parts of the software).

Note also that the LIC_FILES_CHKSUM variable should be set to point to both 
COPYING and COPYING.SGI.

Cheers,
Paul
