2019-01-10license: clarify the licensing for the project's metadataDima Zavin
Presently, the recipe files in meta-freescale are under an ambiguous license. There is a EULA file at the root, but it's clearly not meant to apply as the default license as it is only explicitly called out in a few recipes and mirrors the language of the LSDK. The yocto upstream projects are meant to be distributed under a more liberal license than the LSDK. There are several licenses listed is custom-licenses/, but those again only apply to specific recipes (e.g. NXP-Binary-EULA). The license for the recipes themselves (and for the layer metadata, etc.) is not clear and is problematic when attempting to host a mirror of this code. So, add a LICENSE file that describes this situation, and provide a reference copy of the MIT license (taken from poky/meta/).
