cover less LICENSE correction

Mark Nudelman has given us permission to use a generic BSD license for less. Switching this to BSD-2-Clause as it's the most appropriate.

The following changes since commit 45987c5135d22757ed2eb06b37e192d73309f59f:

eglibc: Fixes for running regression tests (2011-12-19 09:29:18 +0000)

are available in the git repository at:

PATCH 1/1 less: Correcting generic license

I've asked and received permission from Mark Nudelman, the author of less, to utilize a generic BSD 2 clause license for less, instead of creating a common "less" license file.
