licensing: describe RSA-MD situation.
* LICENSE: Mention MD5 component.
* METALICENSE: There are more libraries than linenoise; remove
focus on linenoise and make wording generic. Add description
of the RSA situation, whereby more permissive redistribution
terms were granted by the Feb 23, 2000 memo.
