* LICENSES: adopt Linux-like LICENSES directory structureAhmad Fatoum2019-02-272-0/+335
At the moment grep -r --exclude-dir=.git 'SPDX-License-Identifier:' | \ grep -v 'GPL-2.0' shows me 39 non-dually-licensed source code files (SoCFPGA) that have a BSD-3-Clause license _identifier_. There seems to be no barebox BSD-3-Clause license _text_ however, which runs afoul of the first clause of the license. To account for this and future contributions which are licensed under non-GPL-2.0-but-compatible licenses, create a new LICENSES directory like the one Linux has, where licenses are located. This also removes the jumptable exception inherited from U-Boot: > On 11/2/19 09:00, Sascha Hauer wrote: >> I don't think we need this [exception]. barebox doesn't have >> (and never had since the fork from U-Boot) these standalone >> applications.

The LICENSES/exceptions directory is therefore empty as well as the LICENSES/other directory, which might house new licenses in future. They are added along this commit however, because upstream checkpatch.pl introduced with a later commit depends on their existence.
