88de995ccf COPYING: create a new file with points to the Kernel license files
With the addition of SPDX patchset, the contents of COPYING file
is now duplicated at two other files under LICENSE:
	LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
	LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note

It is easy to check that the contents of the licence written on
those files are identical with COPYING using:

	$ diff -upr COPYING LICENSES/preferred/GPL-2.0
	$ diff -upr COPYING LICENSES/exceptions/Linux-syscall-note|less

Also, a new file was added, with describes how SPDX should work at
the Kernel source files:
	Documentation/process/license-rules.rst

Instead fo having it copying the contents of two files, and not
even mentioning the third one, replace it by a file whose content
points to the other tree files, preserving the Kernel's license.

Adjust license-rules.rst accordingly.

Please notice that this file preserves the Kernel license as
is, without any changes.

9f4a68e416 README: Improve documentation descriptions
"This file" indeed was moved once, but at some point "this file", the
top-level README, becomes a file in itself. Now that time has come :)

Let's describe how things are, and suggest reading "this file" first,
"this file" simply being a the admin-guide README file, not a file that
was once moved.

7f5d465f4d docs: clarify security-bugs disclosure policy
I think we need to soften the language a bit.  It might scare folks
off, especially the:

	 We prefer to fully disclose the bug as soon as possible.

which is not really the case.  Linus says:

	It's not full disclosure, it's not coordinated disclosure,
	and it's not "no disclosure".  It's more like just "timely
	open fixes".

I changed a bit of the wording in here, but mostly to remove the word
"disclosure" since it seems to mean very specific things to people
that we do not mean here.
