This patch comes after a proposal of mine at NFWS 2022 that resulted in
agreement to license recent .c files under GPLv2+ by the attendees at this
meeting:
- Stefano Brivio
- Fernando F. Mancera
- Phil Sutter
- Jozsef Kadlecsik
- Florian Westphal
- Laura Garcia
- Arturo Borrero
- Pablo Neira
It has already happened that one of the external library dependencies
was moved to GPLv3+ (libreadline), resulting in a change to libedit by
default in b4dded0ca78d ("configure: default to libedit for cli").
I have added the GPLv2+ header to the following files:
Authors
-------
src/cmd.c Pablo
src/fib.c Florian
src/hash.c Pablo
src/iface.c Pablo
src/json.c Phil + fixes from occasional contributors
src/libnftables.c Eric Leblond and Phil
src/mergesort.c Elise Lenion
src/misspell.c Pablo
src/mnl.c Pablo + fixes from occasional contributors
src/monitor.c Arturo
src/numgen.c Pablo
src/osf.c Fernando
src/owner.c Pablo
src/parser_json.c Phil + fixes from occasional contributors
src/print.c Phil
src/xfrm.c Florian
src/xt.c Pablo
Eric Leblond and Elise Lennion did not attend NFWS 2022, but they
acknowledged this license update already in the past when I proposed
this to them in private emails.
Update COPYING file too to refer that we are now moving towards GPLv2 or
any later.

I am also Cc'ing the following authors that I did not reach out yet:
src/tcpopt.c Manuel Messner
src/socket.c Mate Eckl
src/rt.c Anders K. Pedersen
src/ipopt.c Stephen Suryaputra
in case they have a chance to acknowledge the update of the license header
of their original .c files to GPLv2+.
