It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it can unambiguously identify the license. This commit modifies a few of MariaDB's docs so that Licensee is able to recognize the repository's license type. It renames the README's "License" section to "Licensing" and renames COPYING.thirdparty to THIRDPARTY. These changes allow Licensee to bypass both files when it scans the repo for license files, which thus allows Licensee to successfully identify the license type of MariaDB as GPL 2.0.
