We can't just say it is community owned because it is not, much of the docs work was done through the Linux Foundation and they do technically own that copyright, not the community. If any contributor wants to add their copyright we can do that, or we can probably change it to "Linux Foundation and The Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded community".

I'll merge the first change and propose a quick subsection in the manual detailing the license. Unless there are disagreements, I propose to stick to the LF as copyright owner.

Eventually, I'll stick to what we have currently. The boilerplate inserted at the end of each manual clearly states the license. That's probably enough.
