Subject: license: Add COPYING and COPYING.LIB

Add GPLv2 COPYING file, and LGPL COPYING.LIB. Add the boilerplate
text about the plugin code being LGPL versus the linked plugin
being GPL.

Fixes: #590964

 copy of the FFmpeg source code.

+PLUG-IN DEPENDENCIES AND LICENSES
+---------------------------------
+
+GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for
+details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available
+under other licenses. This means that if you are distributing an application
+which has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source
+application) with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to distribute GPL-linked
+plug-ins.
+
+When using GPL-linked plug-ins, GStreamer is for all practical reasons
+under the GPL itself.
