[PATCH 0/1] Summary of licensing terms (Xenomai 3)

[PATCH 0/1] Summary of licensing terms (Xenomai 3)

[Philippe Gerum]

From: Philippe Gerum <rpm@xenomai.org>

As discussed during the last meeting, it would be helpful to collate
and summarize the licenses used throughout the Xenomai 3 code in a
toplevel COPYING file. This is the first attempt at doing so.
