It could help to explain the license situation. The existing files either refer:
2/3/4-clause BSD licenses from original sources
2-clause BSD licenses for relicensed code from rtems relicensing effort
RTEMS license via  http://www.rtems.org/license/LICENSE.

Every file should have the license identified, but a LICENSE file can
be added with this kind of information about the licensing that
applies. Since we don't really want to encourage use in new products I
wouldn't put too much effort to document how people should use it. Let
them come and ask us. :)
