IP_Clearance

Clarify legal usage of MPL libraries

relevant for many critical libs

If allowed, upstream patches where possible and use binaries

Clarify usage of GNU cp, GNU patch, GNU tar

Used during the build process

Native CP

Searching the mailing list archive reveals that GNU cp is a prerequisite for the FreeBSD's port.

No problem regarding IP clearance - see ooo-dev post. It is only used during the build.

In the long-run we should get rid of its usage.
