COPYING file: The motivation of this change is to make it easier for new contributors to conduct a license and patent review, WITHOUT changing any licenses. - Remove references to BSD-style licenses as we have more common license exceptions and replace with "other license stanzas" - List the most common situations under which code is licensed under licenses other than GPLv2 (section "Licensing Exceptions") - List the most common non-GPLv2 licenses that are in use in this repository based on a recent FOSSology scan (section "Licensing Exceptions") - List other license related conventions within the project to make it easier to conduct a license review. - Clarify the incoming license as its omission has confused past contributors (section "Contributions") CONTRIBUTION file: The motivation of this file is to make it easier for contributors to find contribution related resources. Add information on existing license related conventions to avoid unintentional future licensing issues. Provide templates for copyright headers for the most commonly used licenses in this repository.
