[Nfd-dev] License boilerplate for code imported from NFD to ndn-cxx

[Junxiao Shi]

Dear folks

Sometimes, code needs to be imported from NFD to ndn-cxx, for functional
and technical reasons.

Strictly speaking, NFD code cannot be imported to ndn-cxx directly.
NFD is GPL3; ndn-cxx is LGPL3.
LGPL3 code cannot contain GPL3 code.

The guideline given in ndn-cxx README-dev.md is to include a LGPL3 license
boilerplate for all contributions.
Davide is disagreeing with this practice in a code review.

Please comment on how license boilerplate should be written for those codes.

Yours, Junxiao
