In order to clarify the licensing of mesa-demos i propose to add
the attach copying file. I simply cut/paste the MIT license preserving
the close forbidding use of silicon graphics in advertising for the
software.

I am not a lawyer or anythings close to that so let me know if i did
somethings wrong. I think pretty much all the mesa demos author agreed
on the MIT license.

If i have no objections over the next 2 week i will push the COPYING
file.

Cheers,
Jerome
