ynl: re-license uniformly under GPL-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause
I was intending to make all the Netlink Spec code BSD-3-Clause
to ease the adoption but it appears that:
- I fumbled the uAPI and used "GPL WITH uAPI note" there
- it gives people pause as they expect GPL in the kernel
As suggested by Chuck re-license under dual. This gives us benefit
of full BSD freedom while fulfilling the broad "kernel is under GPL"
expectations.
