I've cleaned up this page to remove the discussion of copyright "flowing"
which I think is unnecessarily confusing.  What we care about is who the
copyright holder is, not so much the process by which it gets there.  :)

Still listing this as 'Linaro' as the copyright holder; I don't know if this
is the legal name or not, but it's the only one I know :)
