This commit relicenses FuseSoC from GPLv3 to the 2-Clause (or "Simplified") BSD License. All copyright holders have been contacted, and they have agreed to this license change. Motivation: We have had multiple users expressing interest in using (parts of) FuseSoC as a library. Use cases include FuseSoC generators which make use of FuseSoC-internal classes, or the integration of FuseSoC into other build systems. With FuseSoC licensed under the GPLv3, these users have only a single choice: they must license their code under GPLv3 as well, something which often isn't possible. To make FuseSoC usable to more people we are re-licensing the FuseSoC code base under the 2-clause BSD license. This is the same license we chose for edalize.
