Bump GPLv2+ to GPLv3+ for some files, clarify BSD 2-clause. Everything else stays under GPLv3+. New Linking Exception exempts resulting executables from LGPLv3 section 4. Add CONTRIBUTORS file to keep track of licensing. Remove 'Copyright Red Hat Inc' comments. Signed-off-by: Corinna Vinschen <corinna@vinschen.de>

Linking Exception:
|
|
|
|
As a special exception, the copyright holders of the Cygwin library
|
|
grant you additional permission to link libcygwin.a, crt0.o, and
|
|
gcrt0.o with independent modules to produce an executable, and to
|
|
convey the resulting executable under terms of your choice, without
|
|
any need to comply with the conditions of LGPLv3 section 4. An
|
|
independent module is a module which is not itself based on the
|
|
Cygwin library.
