edit Brooklyn license info so that GitHub recognizes it

GitHub uses a library called Licensee to identify a project's license
type. It shows this information in the status bar and via the API if it
can unambiguously identify the license.

This commit updates the LICENSE file so that it begins with the full
text of the Apache license (including the Appendix). The text that
preceded the beginning of the license text has been transferred to a
new "License" section in the README.

Collectively, these changes allow Licensee to successfully identify the
license type of Brooklyn as Apache 2.0.

Brooklyn

Apache Brooklyn helps to model, deploy, and manage systems.

It supports blueprints in YAML or Java, and deploys them to many clouds and other target environments. It monitors those deployments, maintains a live model, and runs autonomic policies to maintain their health.

Quick Start

This is the uber-repo. To build the entire codebase, get this project and its sub-modules:

git clone http://github.com/apache/brooklyn/
cd brooklyn
git submodule init
git submodule update --remote --merge --recursive

And then, with jdk 1.8+ and maven 3.1+ installed:

mvn clean install -Dno-go-client -Dno-rpm -Dno-deb

However, you won‘t be able to build the RPM/DEB packages, as well as the CLI. That’s why we would recommand to use the alternative: a docker container to build this project:

docker build -t brooklyn .
docker run -i --rm --name brooklyn -v ${HOME}/.m2:/root/.m2 -v ${PWD}:/usr/build -w /usr/build brooklyn mvn clean install

The results are in brooklyn-dist/dist/target/, including a tar and a zip. Or to run straight after the build, do:

pushd brooklyn-dist/dist/target/brooklyn-dist/brooklyn/
bin/brooklyn launch

Resources

The Developers section of the main website contains more detail on working with the codebase. There is also a more Developer Guide specific to each version, including this branch (1.0.0-SNAPSHOT), latest stable, and older releases.
