updated toplevel license and readme

- new ergodox website
- clarification in licence indicating that parts of the project may not
  be under that license/copyright
  - currently the stuff in src/lib, and soon the stuff in contrib,
    (are|will be) under different copyrights, and possibly different
    licenses.
  - also, just so it's written down somewhere: some of my documentation
    may be considered derivative works of the specs|docs i was taking
    things from, but i hope i'm safe (fair use?).  i tried to make clear
    in each file where i got stuff though.

### (2012-04-11) (first major release on branch 'main') ### Features as of 2012-04-11 : first major release on branch 'main'
As of now, it looks like we have a working 6-KRO keyboard firmware for a Teensy * 6KRO
2.0 with a MCP23018 I/O expander. It's scanning at ~167 Hz, most of which is * Teensy 2.0, MCP23018 I/O expander
spent communicating over I&sup2;C. This should be fast enough, I think. * ~167 Hz scan rate (most of which is spent communicating via I&sup2;C)
Slight improvements might be possible (without finding a microprocessor capable * firmware level layers
of > 400 kHz I&sup2;C or using SPI, that is, which I imagine would speed things
up a lot - but it'd also be much less convenient). I'll attempt them if I see
the need.
Also, layers are implemented, but untested, as no keymaps are written to use
them yet. Implementing on-keyboard hardware remapping seems like it'd be very
possible too, but I'd need to try it (and learn how to programmatically store
stuff in program space) to see if it'd work; and I'm not sure of a good way to
do the interface, since different people will likely have different keycap
layouts on the ergoDOX.
Getting to N-KRO is a goal, but I honestly have no idea whether it'll be
accomplished. Ideally, I'd like a variable-KRO, where the keyboard is 6-KRO
till you press the 7th key (so if you're worried about compatibility, just
don't press more than 6 keys at a time). From what I've read, it might be
possible, but I just finished everything else (so I'm slightly tired), and the
USB spec is scary.
Discussions about the project as a whole are going on at the forum page (linked
in the title) so if you have any imput (or want to participate in the group
buy!), please stop by. :) .
