17a6ee15b1 Include 2010 in "OpenSeadragon contributors" copyright dates
This Git repository starts in 2011, but the CodePlex Mercurial repository
has commits from 2010.

bbffa7a182 Fix inherited error in clause 3 of LICENSE file
The original AJAX Control Toolkit license prohibited the name of the
CodePlex Foundation from being used to endorse/promote derived products.
We need to preserve this requirement.  This was already done in the .js
header blocks, and should have been done in LICENSE.txt in a7c96c56 but
was missed.

Original discussion in #10.  Permission for the license change was given
by all existing contributors in #58.

2f2eba8df2 Add "OpenSeadragon contributors" copyright statement
The license text will be provided on the website, etc., and it seems
strange to list no copyright date newer than the original CodePlex
copyright from the AJAX Control Toolkit.  Add a blanket copyright
statement for contributions to the OpenSeadragon project, stating that
copyright is held by the authors of each contribution.  This blanket
statement is not intended to preclude individual contributors from
attaching their own copyright statements to their modifications.

ad9b66f3fb Add copyright statement to LICENSE.txt
The license speaks of "the above copyright notice", so it would behoove
us to have one.

Drop copyright statements for Ian Gilman and Christopher Thatcher as
they requested in #10.
