Dalai Felinto 0a4dbc57b8 make license: command to update the license file
This generates a `license.md` file with all the relevant information about
the different libraries and their respecive licenses.

This should replace: THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt

Important files:
* `make_license.py` (main script called by `make license`.
* `licenses.json` (file to add the definition of new licenses).
* `licenses/*/*.txt` (individual license files.

The `license.md` groups the libraries per license, list their
corresponding copyright information and include the complete license.

Code includes contributions from:
* Campbell Barton (multi-line parser for versions.cmake).
* Thomas Dinges (Windows support for `make license`).

Blender Dev Tools
#################

This repository is intended for miscellaneous tools, utilities, configurations and
anything that helps with Blender development, but aren't directly related to building Blender.

Some of the tools included may be used stand-alone, others expect Blenders source code to be available.


Usage
=====

While this is a stand-alone repository,
some of the scripts which access Blenders source code assume this repository will be located at
``tools`` within Blenders source code repository. At some point this may be included as a submodule.

Some tools also rely on the ``blender`` binary, this is assumed to be located at: ``../../blender.bin``.
*The root directory of Blender's git repository*
