Pull request overview

This PR restructures the repository’s licensing artifacts to introduce a GPLv2 relicensing exception when wolfTPM is combined with a specific U-Boot distribution, while relocating the full GPLv3 license text into a dedicated COPYING file.

Changes:

  • Replaced LICENSE content with a wolfTPM-specific GPLv3 notice plus a GPLv2 exception statement for the specified “Exception Software”.
  • Added a new COPYING file containing the full GNU GPLv3 license text (previously in LICENSE).
