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.

10Definitions
11The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative
12works," and "distribution" have the same meaning here as under
13U.S. copyright law. A "contribution" is the original software, or any
14additions or changes to the software. A "contributor" is any person
15that distributes its contribution under this license. "Licensed
16patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly on its
17contribution.
18Grant of Rights
19(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the
20license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a
21non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce its
22contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution, and distribute its
23contribution or any derivative works that you create.
24(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license
25conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-
26exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its licensed patents to make,
27have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or otherwise dispose of its
28contribution in the software or derivative works of the contribution in the
29software.
30Conditions and Limitations
31(A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any
32contributors' name, logo, or trademarks.
33(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you
34claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor
35to the software ends automatically.
36(C) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all
37copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in the
38software.
39(D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may
40do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this license with
41your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the software in compiled or
42object code form, you may only do so under a license that complies with this
43license.
44(E) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it.
45The contributors give no express warranties, guarantees, or conditions. You may
46have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this license cannot
47change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the contributors exclude
48the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and
49non-infringement.
