[CI-SKIP] Clarify project licensing

* THIS IS NOT A RELICENSE *

This commit adds explicit clarification as to the state of this
project's licensing as it has always been. Nothing has changed here.

It also adds a note about how specific authors have chosen to release
their work under a more permissive license. Any past contributors who
want their name added to this list should submit a pull request here.

We will not be adding anyone's names to this list ourselves.
