Explicitly mention that the rpmio/ sub dir is under LGPL
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
As the code in the rpmio sub directory was split out of the lib sub dir
it is already under LGPL as "code derived from" "the source code in the
lib subdirectory" according to the license. But not having the sub directory
mentioned in the license confuses users and contributers.

So this change does not change the license of any code but only clearifies the
current situation.

Resolves: #516
