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

[Junxiao Shi]

Dear folks

I suggest putting the following onto a wiki page:

   1. a sample email template to be used when contacting the authors in
   order to borrow code from NFD to ndn-cxx
   2. the correct boilerplate to be used on code imported from NFD to
   ndn-cxx


Yours, Junxiao
