Relicense ac(8).

Though the license of the original ac(8) source code provides many
liberties, we are already somewhat violating it. The license requires us
to clearly comment any modifications to the source code, as the original
authors of course do not want to get bug reports for modified versions
of ac(8). This is something we have not done consistently.

The need for such a license clause has become less over time. It is very
unlikely that end users will contact the original authors, as the
copyright is from 1994. I contacted both the copyright holders. They
responded in a timely fashion and were more than willing to relicense it
to a 2-clause BSD license. To address any concerns about bug reports
going to the original authors instead of me, add my own name and email
address to the copyright statements as well.
