Please check that buildout actually copied the license files to the right
directory, which should be one of the directories on the sys.path used
by your Zope installation.

The log dump includes a list of directories on the sys.path and the
directory you've listed in the buildout recipe is not on the path,
so the Zope DA can't find it.

BTW: It's unusual that you don't have $INSTANCEHOME/lib/python
on your sys.path - not exactly sure why that is. Could be because
you're running the instance from inside a source checkout.
