[PATCH] license/README: fix pathnames and add MIT

[Stephen Hemminger]

The pathnames in the license directory README are incorrect.
The current repository puts license text in license/ not licenses/.

Also, MIT license is used already in a couple of places so
add the necessary entry in the README.

[RFC 2/2] license: add using MIT license in base code

[Stephen Hemminger]

Many network drivers have base code which is shared from other
sources. It is allowed to use MIT license in this code since that
license is compatiable with BSD license.

The dates need to be adjusted after final approval.

[Hemant] Can you break it into two parts:
1. for correcting the pathname   - this can be merged asap.
2. adding MIT license - this need to wait till GB approval.
