License clarification.
Remove the copyright/license from README.md. Clarify that the artistic license is version 1.0 and provide links to the copy on github and the perlfoundation. Remove the old FSF physical address and provide links to the GPL license on github and a direct link to the gpl version 2 on gnu.org (since the old link resolved to version 3).
