Patrick Georgi a73b93157f tree: drop last paragraph of GPL copyright header
It encourages users from writing to the FSF without giving an address.
Linux also prefers to drop that and their checkpatch.pl (that we
imported) looks out for that.

This is the result of util/scripts/no-fsf-addresses.sh with no further
editing.

README

viatool is a utility for extracting useful for extracting certain configuration
bits on VIA chipsets and CPUs. It is a fork of inteltool.

viatool is currently focused on "quirks". Quirks are device configurations that
cannot be accessed directly. They are implemented as hierarchical configurations
in the PCI or memory address spaces (index/data register pairs). Such
configurations refer to hardware parameters that are board specific. Those
parameters would otherwise be difficult to extract from a system running the
vendor's firmware.

viatool also preserves inteltool's MSR dumps. VIA CPU and Intel CPU MSRs are
nearly identical.
