Refactor LICENSE.md to make it scanner friendly (#41095)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Create THIRDPARTY.md to hold license information for all code not covered by the main MIT license. This format allows for automated scanning and categorization of Julia's license.  The licenses were broken up this way because this is the format that many automated license scanners (including GitHub).
