This follows up on the proposal that was sent to the Cogl mailing list
to re-license from the LGPL to the MIT license:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001465.html

Note: there was a copyright assignment policy in place for Clutter (and
therefore Cogl which was part of Clutter at the time) until the 11th of
June 2010 and so we only checked the details after that point (commit
0bbf50f9)

For each file, authors were identified via this Git command:
$ git blame -p -C -C -C20 -M -M10  0bbf50f9..HEAD

We received blanket approvals for re-licensing all Red Hat and Collabora
contributions which reduced how many people needed to be contacted
individually:
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2013-December/001470.html
- http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January/001536.html

Individual approval requests were sent to all the other identified authors
who all confirmed the re-license on the Cogl mailinglist:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/cogl/2014-January

As well as updating the copyright header in all sources files, the
COPYING file has been updated to reflect the license change and also
document the other licenses used in Cogl such as the SGI Free Software
License B, version 2.0 and the 3-clause BSD license.
