[Gecode] License and Authorship

[Gabor Szokoli]

I agree as is.

It might work differently here, but in the US, our university had a 
whole legal department for bullet-proofing our licenses and disclaimers 
and file-header notices.
They made us put things in licences for example about not allowing the 
use of the software in countries where local laws override any point of 
the disclaimer, and so on. It definitely made them feel useful :-)
