common-licenses: Adding new licenses and renaming

I'm adding full common licenses to the common license directory.

These licenses are taken from the SPDX project or the OSI license
repository. They conform to the SPDX naming convention and will be
used by the new license.bbclass license parser in order to maintain
some sort of internal standard for license naming.

Going forward, we should have a bigger conversation about the LICENSE
field and standardizing that to conform to this naming standard.

+Notes
+This version: http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Legal/2002/copyright-software-
+20021231
+This formulation of W3C's notice and license became active on December 31 2002.
+This version removes the copyright ownership notice such that this license can
+be used with materials other than those owned by the W3C, reflects that ERCIM
+is now a host of the W3C, includes references to this specific dated version of
+the license, and removes the ambiguous grant of "use". Otherwise,
+this version is the same as the previous version and is written so as to
+preserve the Free Software Foundation's assessment of GPL compatibility and
+OSI's certification under the Open Source Definition.
