declare the licenses more prominently in the top level folders.

LICENSE is derived from poky's LICENSE file.

+Different components of the AGL layers are under different licenses (a mix
+of MIT and GPLv2). See LICENSE.GPL-2.0-only and LICENSE.MIT for further
+details of the individual licenses.
+
+All metadata (e.g. .bb, .bbappend, .bbclass, .inc, templates/* and similar)
+is MIT licensed unless otherwise stated.
+Source code included in tree for individual recipes (e.g. patches) are under
+the LICENSE stated in the associated recipe (.bb file) unless otherwise stated.
+
+License information for any other files (scripts) is either explicitly stated
+or defaults to GPL version 2 only.
+
+Individual files can contain the following style tags instead of the full
+license text to identify their license:
+
+    SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only
+    SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
+
