libdrm has no representative license file like Linux and other open source trees.

Linux mainline case below,
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/COPYING?id=refs/tags/v4.11-rc6

So I'd like to keep the license consistency of MIT license other code in libdrm have to be keepped with one license.
I think keeping two more licenses here would make business projects confusing.
