Hi Elizabeth,

I'm trying to integrate glmark2 into openembedded (meta-oe layer). I know this 
is not the right mailing list for that task, but I'm still on the license 
problem.

I've tried to do as you suggested, but I'm getting:
WARNING: glmark2: No generic license file exists for: SGI-1 in any provider
Paul suggested:
LICENSE = "GPLv3+ & SGI-1"
I've tried also:
LICENSE = "GPLv3+ & SGIv1"
but I'm still getting the same error message (obviously with "SGIv1" instead).

I'm attaching the full patch for you to review if I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you for any hint you might give me,
Diego
