Subject: docs: add README.licensing

There is not only one unique license for all code in utl-linux-ng. We
have mix of utils with Public Domain, BSD, GPLv2 or GPLv2+. This thing
should be more transparent to avoid misunderstanding.

+The project utils-linux-ng doesn't use same license for all code. There are
+code with:
+
+   * GPLv2+ (GNU General Public License version 2, or any later version)
+
+   * GPLv2 (GNU General Public License version 2)
+
+   * BSD License
+
+   * Public Domain
+
+Please, check source code for more details. A license is usually at the start
+of each source file.
+
+The /COPYING file (GPLv2+) is the default license for code without an explicitly
+defined license.
