dev-java/netcdf: Add the netCDF licence (which is *not* MIT)
I'm not sure why the license was changed when this ebuild was imported
from my overlay, but NetCDF deserves its own entry under licenses/
From http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/netcdf-java/documentation.htm:
> The library is freely available and the source code is released
> under the (MIT-style) netCDF C library license. Previous versions
> use the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
The license text [1] has several important deviations from MIT, for
example:
* netCDF does not explicitly grant the right to sublicense and/or sell
copies, while MIT does.
There are also a number of other changes, involving legalese that I
don't understand. However, I imagine the UCAR/Unidata lawyers made
the deviations from the MIT license intentionally, and Gentoo users
should be able to easily see what they are getting into by using this
package.
