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. Signed-off-by: Beth Flanagan <elizabeth.flanagan@intel.com>

+Multics License
+
+Historical Background
+
+This edition of the Multics software materials and documentation is
+provided and donated to Massachusetts Institute of Technology by Group
+BULL including BULL HN Information Systems Inc. as a contribution to
+computer science knowledge. This donation is made also to give evidence
+of the common contributions of Massachusetts Institute of Technology,
+Bell Laboratories, General Electric, Honeywell Information Systems
+Inc., Honeywell BULL Inc., Groupe BULL and BULL HN Information Systems
+Inc. to the development of this operating system. Multics development
+was initiated by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Project MAC
+(1963-1970), renamed the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science and
+Artificial Intelligence in the mid 1970s, under the leadership of
+Professor Fernando Jose Corbato. Users consider that Multics provided the
+best software architecture for managing computer hardware properly and
+for executing programs. Many subsequent operating systems incorporated
+Multics principles. Multics was distributed in 1975 to 2000 by Group
+Bull in Europe , and in the U.S. by Bull HN Information Systems Inc., as
+successor in interest by change in name only to Honeywell Bull Inc. and
+Honeywell Information Systems Inc. .
