Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

Ebuilds currently have LICENSE="as-is BSD BSD-2 GPL-2 MIT" which is almost right. But we want to get rid of the "as-is" license label.

Looking at the license notices (README, LICENCE, and notices in source files) in all tarballs that appear in SRC_URI, I find the following:

   nginx: "BSD-2"
   ngx_devel_kit: "BSD SSLeay" (the latter is for some files in src/hash/)
   modules: "BSD-2 BSD MIT"; comments in ebuilds appear to be accurate
   Gentoo init script: "GPL-2"

So in summary, LICENSE should be changed to:
Versions <=1.2.5: "BSD-2 BSD MIT GPL-2"
Version 1.3.8:    "BSD-2 BSD SSLeay MIT GPL-2"
