add licence options: MIT or SPL for the whole package

The choice of MIT is because Twisted Python uses it, and folks working on the
Twisted project have expressed interest in using pycryptopp:

http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/4633

The choice of SPL is because it is so darn simple.

Also a few minor tweaks to docs and setup.py: fix some URLs that had typos in
them, utf-8 decode the README before passing it to setup() and hence to the
Python Package Index, remove the Trove Classifier indicating that we support
Python 2.4 and Python 2.5. Reformat TGPPL from html to rst.

111=======================================================
112Transitive Grace Period Public Licence ("TGPPL") v. 1.0
113=======================================================
114
115This Transitive Grace Period Public Licence (the "License") applies to any
116original work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the
117"Licensor") has placed the following licensing notice adjacent to the
118copyright notice for the Original Work:
119
120 *Licensed under the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence version 1.0*
121
1221.  **Grant of Copyright License.** Licensor grants You a worldwide,
123    royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, for the duration of
124    the copyright, to do the following:
125
126    a. to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part of a
127       collective work;
128
129    b. to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the Original
130       Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon
131       the Original Work;
132
133    c. to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and Derivative
134       Works to the public, with the proviso that copies of Original Work or
135       Derivative Works that You distribute or communicate shall be licensed
136       under this Transitive Grace Period Public Licence no later than 12
137       months after You distributed or communicated said copies;
138
139    d. to perform the Original Work publicly; and
140
141    e. to display the Original Work publicly.
142
1432.  **Grant of Patent License.** Licensor grants You a worldwide,
144    royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent claims
145    owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original
146    Work as furnished by the Licensor, for the duration of the patents, to
147    make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the Original Work
148    and Derivative Works.
149
1503.  **Grant of Source Code License.** The term "Source Code" means the
151    preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and
152    all available documentation describing how to modify the Original
153    Work. Licensor agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source
154    Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original Work that
155    Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this
156    obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an
157    information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and
158    convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to distribute
159    the Original Work.
160
1614.  **Exclusions From License Grant.** Neither the names of Licensor, nor the
162    names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their
163    trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products
164    derived from this Original Work without express prior permission of the
165    Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this License
166    grants any license to Licensor's trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade
167    secrets or any other intellectual property. No patent license is granted
168    to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, or import embodiments of
169    any patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in Section 2. No
170    license is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such marks are
171    included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License shall be
172    interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under terms different
173    from this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a
174    right to license.
175
1765.  **External Deployment.** The term "External Deployment" means the use,
177    distribution, or communication of the Original Work or Derivative Works
178    in any way such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by
179    anyone other than You, whether those works are distributed or
180    communicated to those persons or made available as an application
181    intended for use over a network. As an express condition for the grants
182    of license hereunder, You must treat any External Deployment by You of
183    the Original Work or a Derivative Work as a distribution under section
184    1(c).
185
1866.  **Attribution Rights.** You must retain, in the Source Code of any
187    Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent, or trademark
188    notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any notices
189    of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an
190    "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any Derivative
191    Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution Notice reasonably
192    calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the Original Work.
193
1947.  **Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty.** Licensor warrants
195    that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent rights
196    granted herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are sublicensed
197    to You under the terms of this License with the permission of the
198    contributor(s) of those copyrights and patent rights. Except as expressly
199    stated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Original Work is
200    provided under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY,
201    either express or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties
202    of non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a particular
203    purpose. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH
204    YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential part of this
205    License. No license to the Original Work is granted by this License
206    except under this disclaimer.
207
2088.  **Limitation of Liability.** Under no circumstances and under no legal
209    theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
210    shall the Licensor be liable to anyone for any indirect, special,
211    incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a result
212    of this License or the use of the Original Work including, without
213    limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure
214    or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses. This
215    limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent applicable law
216    prohibits such limitation.
217
2189.  **Acceptance and Termination.** If, at any time, You expressly assented
219    to this License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable
220    acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions. If You
221    distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work or a Derivative
222    Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain
223    the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License. This
224    License conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed in
225    Section 1, including your right to create Derivative Works based upon the
226    Original Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and conditions
227    is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty. Nothing in this
228    License is intended to affect copyright exceptions and limitations
229    (including 'fair use' or 'fair dealing'). This License shall terminate
230    immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to
231    You by this License upon your failure to honor the conditions in Section
232    1(c).
233
23410. **Termination for Patent Action.** This License shall terminate
235    automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to
236    You by this License as of the date You commence an action, including a
237    cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee alleging
238    that the Original Work infringes a patent. This termination provision
239    shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by
240    combinations of the Original Work with other software or hardware.
241
24211. **Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law.** Any action or suit relating to
243    this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction wherein
244    the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary business,
245    and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law
246    provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
247    for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the
248    Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its termination
249    shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of copyright or patent
250    law in the appropriate jurisdiction. This section shall survive the
251    termination of this License.
252
25312. **Attorneys' Fees.** In any action to enforce the terms of this License
254    or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
255    entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
256    limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection
257    with such action, including any appeal of such action. This section shall
258    survive the termination of this License.
259
26013. **Miscellaneous.** If any provision of this License is held to be
261    unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
262    necessary to make it enforceable.
263
26414. **Definition of "You" in This License.** "You" throughout this License,
265    whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity
266    exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this
267    License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls, is
268    controlled by, or is under common control with you. For purposes of this
269    definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause
270    the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
271    otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
272    outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
273
27415. **Right to Use.** You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise
275    restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor
276    promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You.
277
27816. **Modification of This License.** This License is Copyright © 2007 Zooko
279    Wilcox-O'Hearn. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, or communicate
280    this License without modification. Nothing in this License permits You to
281    modify this License as applied to the Original Work or to Derivative
282    Works. However, You may modify the text of this License and copy,
283    distribute or communicate your modified version (the "Modified License")
284    and apply it to other original works of authorship subject to the
285    following conditions: (i) You may not indicate in any way that your
286    Modified License is the "Transitive Grace Period Public Licence" or
287    "TGPPL" and you may not use those names in the name of your Modified
288    License; and (ii) You must replace the notice specified in the first
289    paragraph above with the notice "Licensed under <insert your license name
290    here>" or with a notice of your own that is not confusingly similar to
291    the notice in this License.
