[PATCH] Relicense IBM portions of resolv/base64.c resolv/res_debug.c.

[Carlos O'Donell]

This change relicenses the IBM portions of resolv/base64.c and
resolv/res_debug.c to a new license that does not have use-limited
patent language.  The top-level LICENSE file is updated with the
license.

The relicensing was approved by IBM.
