This change relicenses the IBM portions of resolv/base64.c and
resolv/res_debug.c to a new license that does not have use-limited
patent language.  The top-level LICENSE file is updated with the
license.

The relicensing was approved by IBM.

Andreas,

As RM is this OK to push? No code changes, but it fixes the license issues with
this code and so should make glibc 2.39.
