[Ctk-developers] CTK license and copyright

To be consistent across all files, just pushed commit
0d0ec63a1c<https://github.com/jcfr/CTK/commit/0d0ec63a1ca05b1509926d3091ffa13ed08e903a>on
my topic branch

  Use http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt instead of
http://www.commontk.org/LICENSE

See
https://github.com/jcfr/CTK/commit/0d0ec63a1ca05b1509926d3091ffa13ed08e903a

Does it still make sens to keep the following URL:
http://commontk.org/LICENSE ?

Should that URL redirect to http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.txt
?

Thanks
Jc
