COPYING: use the new text with points to the license files Now that we have a new COPYING file with points to the Linux license files, replace it with the old content.

The Linux Kernel is provided under:
Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
