Add README.md, convert to markdown
- Add new, updated
README.md
file - Convert existing READMEs to markdown so that they are rendered properly on the web view
- Rename the license files so that GitLab picks GPL2 as the main app license to show on the repository info (*). While at it, update the GPL2 text with the latest upstream version.
(*) Otherwise, the first license that is picked up in alphanumerical order is COPYING.DOC
, which applies to the documentation. As it is not a license that is recognized, the project info just shows a generic "LICENSE" description. GitLab uses the Licensee Ruby gem to detect licenses.
