Going back to unmodified 2-Clause BSD License.
* LICENSE: Reverted to Two-Clause BSD license. The copyright of the Linenoise library are included, because it uses exactly the same license. A note is added about MPI being in the public domain. * LICENSE-CYG: Revised text to clarify the situation that Cygnal is only bundled with a particular Windows build of TXR. * METALICENSE: Revised text. All references to modifications to the BSD license are removed. Gives pointers to the MPI and linenoise license files. Notes that linenoise is under the Two-Clause BSD also. Makes a note about Cygnal and points to LICENSE-CYG. * inst.nsi: Remove the text which tells the user that use of the program requires agreement with the license; refer only to redistribution. The "Agree" buttons are renamed "Acknowledge". * mpi/make-logtab, mpi/mpi.c, mpi/mpi.h, mpi/mplogic.c, mpi/mplogic.h: Remove copyright notices and "all rights reserved", since the author had placed this into the public domain, as made explicit in the README file.

+component of TXR; the TXR source code base contains no portion of these
+libraries, and other ports of TXR to other platforms do not use them.
