Jordan Lee 02cff80c2d Copyedit the license's revised text: (1) remove unnecessary repitition use of the word 'license' from the top of the header and source files (2) add the standard 'we hope it's useful, but no warranty' clause to COPYING (3) make explicit that linking OpenSSL is allowed (see https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html for background) (4) sync the Qt and GTK+ clients' license popups with COPYING's revised text 2014-01-21 03:10:30 +00:00
Jordan Lee 4b9626bb83 Licensing changes:
1. add the option the code to be used under GPLv2 or GPLv3; previously only GPLv2 was allowed

2. add the "proxy option" as described in GPLv3 so we can add future licenses without having to bulk-edit everything again :)

3. remove the awkward "exception for MIT code in Mac client" clause; it was unnecessary and confusing.
