This adds some more verbose license information to the documentation.

I would consider this a FAQ https://github.com/COVESA/vehicle_signal_specification/wiki/VSS-FAQ---Collect-Questions-and-Answers , so maybe since agreed upon this information is also useful elsewhere.

I like the text, would have to double check on the statements WRT MPL2 though or just trust you. Anyways, I think the place is the right one.
Just smaller nitpicks from my side.
