common-licenses: Adding new licenses and renaming
I'm adding full common licenses to the common license directory. These licenses are taken from the SPDX project or the OSI license repository. They conform to the SPDX naming convention and will be used by the new license.bbclass license parser in order to maintain some sort of internal standard for license naming. Going forward, we should have a bigger conversation about the LICENSE field and standardizing that to conform to this naming standard. Signed-off-by: Beth Flanagan <elizabeth.flanagan@intel.com>

+The Artistic License
+Preamble
+
+The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
+may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
+artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of
+the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
+customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
+
+Definitions:
+
+"Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the
+Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
+textual modification.
+"Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been
+modified, or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
+Holder.
+"Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights
+for the package.
+"You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this
+Package.
+"Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of
+media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
+not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
+computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
+"Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself,
+though there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
+recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
+received it.
+1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
+Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
+duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
+
+2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
+from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such
+a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
+
+3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that
+you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you
+changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them Freely
+Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an equivalent
+medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site such as
+ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your modifications
+in the Standard Version of the Package.
+
+b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
+
+c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
+standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
+manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
+differs from the Standard Version.
+
+d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+
+4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
+form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
+
+a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files, together
+with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to get the
+Standard Version.
+
+b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
+with your modifications.
+
+c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
+Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard names,
+and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent),
+together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version.
+
+d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
+
+5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
+Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may
+not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this
+Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a
+larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not
+advertise this Package as a product of your own.
+
+6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
+from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
+of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold
+commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
+
+7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not
+be considered part of this Package.
+
+8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
+products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
+
+9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR
+IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
+
+The End
