[PATCH 7/7] scripts/mxsimage: relicense to allow distribution of binary linked with OpenSSL

The GPL (both, versions 2 and 3) are incompatible with the OpenSSL
license.  According to the Free Software Foundation the copyright
holders of GPL software have to provide an exception to allow this
linkage.

This is effectively a license change and so needs confirmation by all
copyright holders.
