Thomas Dinges 64fc6d7890 Docs: Replace most wiki links with links to new developer docs
Exceptions:
* Links to personal wiki pages
* Pages that are not in the new developer docs yet (like Human Interface Guidelines)
* tools\check_wiki\check_wiki_file_structure.py needs a refactor

Sergey Sharybin 8bd14cb3aa Update the copyright.txt
This is the copyright file which is distributed with the
official Blender builds distributed via blender.org project,
with the intent to indicate that the build is done by the
blender foundation.

This change makes the file shorter, avoiding stating agreements
in the file itself, and instead referring to the license.

This matches more closely to how other open source projects
tackle the COPYING file.

The updated content has been reviewed by Ton.

Ankit Meel c146d75808 readme.html: replace IRC with blender.chat, fix typo

Ankit Meel 14d98d0388 CMake: create readme.html with configure_file
Since the output file stays unmodified for most developer builds,
install step installed it redundantly.

Create readme.html using `configure_file`:
- Now it's modified only if final output changes (handled by CMake).
- If input file (from git) or blender version changes,
  it //will// be modified.

Also don't re-implement what CMake can do.

Dalai Felinto 0434efa09d Move license files to license subfolder
For the final builds instead of leaving all the license files in the main
folder, we move them to a "license" folder.

Also, adding more licenses here (MIT, Apache, ...).

Aaron Carlisle fdcfc263e9 Use latest/version number for manual links
We want users to go to the current version for their current version 
when possible if not point to latest.

/dev should really only be for development related work. End users 
should not be browsing /dev unless they are reading about upcoming 
features ahead of time.

Brecht Van Lommel c553b790fc macOS: rename blender.app to Blender.app
Using a capitalized app name fits the platform guidelines. Since macOS file
systems are case insensitive by default this should not break scripts that
assume lowercase.

Ton Roosendaal 2d5935a9c0 This copyright text (copied to binary distros) had a confusing statement about
scripts being "Artwork" which is your sole property and free to license.

I've removed the reference to scripts in this text.

This was from 2002! With our Python scripts becoming part of how Blender runs,
such scripts now are officially required to be compliant with GNU GPL.

For more information; check the FAQ or consult foundation@blender.org

Ton Roosendaal 004fa8e729 GPL V3 license, which will be valid for the binary releases.
(Because Blender links with the Apache2 license).

Cleanup of this directory will happen before official release.

Sergey Sharybin 9f9b4cf9b3 Add jemalloc license to release/text
Official linux builds are linking against jemalloc,
and in the own branch i'm using some of it's code.

License files location could be changed a bit later
(i.e. make it so all the license files are in the
single folder, not in the root of the blender distro).
