Cleaned up the LICENSE document: The official contact for any license

questions now is the OpenSSL core team under openssl-core@openssl.org.  And
add a paragraph about the dual-license situation to make sure people recognize
that _BOTH_ the OpenSSL license _AND_ the SSLeay license apply to the OpenSSL
toolkit.

==============
The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the conditions of
the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit.
See below for the actual license texts. Actually both licenses are BSD-style
Open Source licenses. In case of any license issues related to OpenSSL
please contact openssl-core@openssl.org.

The reason behind this being stated in this direct manner is past
experience in code simply being copied and the attribution removed
from it and then being distributed as part of other packages. This
implementation was a non-trivial and unpaid effort.
