new license

[Mike Reed]

Skia is looking to migrate its license agreement from Apache 2.0 to
the BSD style used by Chrome, allowing Skia to be used in a broader
range of open source projects.

Attached is the LICENSE file that would be added to the skia tree, and
below are two samples of how the copyright notice would change for the
source files. The copyright attribution will stay the same (either
Android or Google), but the text below will change to reflect Chrome's
style of referring to the LICENSE file.

/*
Copyright 2010 Google Inc.

Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be
found in the LICENSE file.
*/

--- or ---

/*
Copyright (C) 2006 The Android Open Source Project

Use of this source code is governed by a BSD-style license that can be
found in the LICENSE file.
*/

We expect this change should not adversely affect anyone, but wanted
to give this heads-up in case there are issues we are unaware of.

Someone should update this website too: http://code.google.com/p/skia
which still reads "Apache License 2.0."
If understand what I read on this thread, then this is no longer
accurate, which is good news to anyone who wants GPLv2 compatibility.
