docs: add README.licensing
There is not only one unique license for all code in utl-linux-ng. We have mix of utils with Public Domain, BSD, GPLv2 or GPLv2+. This thing should be more transparent to avoid misunderstanding. Signed-off-by: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com>

The project utils-linux-ng doesn't use same license for all code. There are
|
||||||
|
code with:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* GPLv2+ (GNU General Public License version 2, or any later version)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* GPLv2 (GNU General Public License version 2)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* BSD License
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Public Domain
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Please, check source code for more details. A license is usually at the start
|
||||||
|
of each source file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The /COPYING file (GPLv2+) is the default license for code without an explicitly
|
||||||
|
defined license.
