* LICENSE: Switching to simplified two-clause BSD license,

but with modifications. Adding back the no-liability
part of the disclaimer, but with abbreviated text.
Also, rewriting the initial paragraph to make it clear
that the two conditions cover redistribution, and that
use of the software is tantamount to agreeing with the
disclaimer.
