Robert Schmidt 8107939f08 Change OAI license to CSSL v1.0 (and others)
- all RAN code, CI code, configuration files, dockerfiles, in CSSL v1.0
- all deployment code (openshift, charts, ancillary files like shell
  scripts), in MIT
- documentation in CC-BY-4.0
- exceptions might apply and are listed in NOTICE
- there is a new LICENSES folder with all licenses
- CONTRIBUTIONS.md has been updated accordingly

For automated changes based on OAI PL v1.1:

    perl -i~ -0pe 's/\/\*.*Licensed to the OpenAirInterface.*openairinterface.org\n#?/\/*\n * SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-CSSL-1.0\n/s' **/*.{c,h,cpp}
    perl -i~ -0pe 's/\/\*.*Licensed to the OpenAirInterface.*openairinterface.org\n#?/\/*\n * SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-CSSL-1.0\n/s' **/*.ts
    perl -i~ -0pe 's/<!--.*Licensed to the OpenAirInterface.*openairinterface.org\n.*-->/<!-- SPDX-License-Identifier: LicenseRef-CSSL-1.0 -->/s' **/*.xml

The rest (cmake, files with missing license, cmake) manually.

# Contributing to OpenAirInterface #
We want to make contributing to this project as easy and transparent as possible.
Please refer to the steps described on our website: [How to contribute to OAI](https://www.openairinterface.org/?page_id=112).
1. Sign and return a Contributor License Agreement to OAI team.
2. Register on [Eurecom GitLab Server](https://gitlab.eurecom.fr/users/sign_up)
if you do not have any.
- We recommend that you register with a professional or student email address.
- If your email domain (`@domain.com`) is not whitelisted, please contact us
(mailto:contact@openairinterface.org).
- Eurecom GitLab does NOT accept public email domains.
3. Provide the OAI team with the **username** of this account to
(mailto:contact@openairinterface.org) ; we will give you the developer
rights on this repository.
4. The contributing policies are described in the [corresponding documentation
page](doc/code-style-contrib.md).
- PLEASE DO NOT FORK the OAI repository on your own Eurecom GitLab account.
It just eats up space on our servers.
- You can fork onto another hosting system. But we will NOT accept a merge
request from a forked repository.
* This decision was made for the license reasons.
* The Continuous Integration will reject your merge request.
