COPYING: new file

Open-Sankoré is released under the terms of the GNU Library Genereal
Public License, version 2, with a specific linking exception for the
OpenSSL project's "OpenSSL" library, so state that as in a general GNU
project and remove everything which is useless (and also misleading).

The LGPL-2 version is taken from the Debian base-files_6.9 package,
file /usr/share/common-licenses/LGPL-2.  The OpenSSL exception comes
from the GNU Wget license as in the Debian wget_1.13.4-3 package, file
/usr/share/doc/wget/copyright.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries
If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that
everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting
redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the
ordinary General Public License).
To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
