[PATCH 6/7] scripts/imx-image: 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.
