Add license.txt file for the DMD snap
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The license texts in this file are taken from the corresponding license
texts provided in the DMD, druntime and phobos source repositories.  An
overview has been added to summarize the different components, with the
zlib license also included since libphobos statically links to zlib when
it is built.

Note that the DMD compiler license takes into account the announcement
of 7 April 2017 that the backend has been relicensed under the terms of
the Boost Licence (Version 1.0):

Overview
========

The DMD compiler is released under the Boost Software License (Version 1.0),
as are druntime, the Phobos standard library, and the ancillary D tools
(rdmd, dustmite and ddemangle). Phobos statically links in zlib, which is
distributed under the terms of the zlib license.
