docs: import upstream GPLv2 driver license

Copy src/LICENSE verbatim from radxa-pkg/aic8800 commit
969601fd69b5c33f965558c9e90633067733e8c1 and document its provenance.
Upstream copyright metadata assigns GPL-2 to driver sources and the
same license to driver patches; GPL-3+ applies to Radxa packaging.

Refs #101.
Validation: byte-for-byte upstream license comparison and git diff --check.

### Disclaimer
I did not develop this software, The code is sourced from the Tenda U11 driver. I only made some modifications to the code to adapt it to newer kernel versions. Apart from compilation issues, I am unable to address other problems.
### License

(`GPL-2.0-only`); see [LICENSE](LICENSE). Preserve the copyright and license
notices in individual files.
