[PATCH v2 0/2] Clarify License information : stubdom, tools/blktap2

[Lars Kurth]

This series contains some of the easier license clean-up cases, which can be fixed
by adding COPYING files or README.source files. The series specially contains:

stubdom
Added a COPYING file as a boilerplate to explain license oddities in this directory
Added a vtpm/COPYING file which contains MIT licensed files only
Added a vtpmmgr/README.source file which contains many BSD-3-Clause files only,
that originally came from tools/vtpm_manager

tools/blktap2
Added a COPYING file 
There is some complexity here, but I believe it is not necessary to fix this at this
stage, as for some time we were discussing to remove blktap2.

---
Changes since v1
- Added note regarding uuid.h in vtpmmgr/README.source
- No changes to blktap2: but also no comments

-- 
2.5.4 (Apple Git-61)

[PATCH 2/2] blktap2: Added COPYING file

[Lars Kurth]

Blktap2 has some complexity, as some files do not have (c) headers
and the directory did not have a COPYING file. At this stage, we
have not verified the intention of (c) holders. We may do this in
future, if the need arises.
