New official DragonFly copyright message (3 clause BSD license)

[Matthew Dillon]

    Ok everyone, this is our new official copyright template.  It's
    basically just the 3-clause (not 4-clause) BSD license with minor
    language changes (e.g. 'regents' become 'copyright holders').  If
    particular attribution is also desired, the paragraph just after
    the Copyright line can be adjusted to add people involved with
    major work on the file in question.  Note that most of the BSD's have
    already or intend to move to the 2-clause or 3-clause copyright.

    The purpose of creating a 'standard' DragonFly copyright is two fold.
    First, to try to consolidate as many of the various disparate 
    copyrights as we can get permission from the original authors to do 
    into this one.  Second, to have something that all of our contributors
    feel comfortable just adding their name too instead of a totally separate
    copyright notice (the proliferation of which complicates third party use
    of the code and makes the file headers rather large).  Third, to have
    a standard format that will make it easier for us to track people down
    if/when we ever wanted to change it.

    I will be changing my 2-clause copyrights on the pure LWKT code to this
    baby, Hiten has already changed his, and we made a compromise with
    Jeffrey Hsu on his network work (he has a separate copyright using
    the 4-clause BSD license but with a 1-year sunset, so we will be
    able to remove it in July 2005).

    The adjustments and move towards a standardized copyright/license were
    suggested by Hiten.  I intend to make it a requirement for code 
    contributions (though occassional exceptions will of course occur, as
    long as the result is open-source compatible).
