We received permission not to copy the full license in the header of each file. Instead, we can just have the following:

OpenStudio(R), Copyright (c) Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.
See also https://openstudio.net/license

Additionally, the wording of the license is SLIGHTLY different. This should replace LICENSE.md and the top of copyright.txt.

New wording:

OpenStudio(R), Copyright (c) 2008, 2023 Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC.

copyright.txt has a lot of old stuff in there. I don't know if we need to keep listing Qt for eg since we remove it as a dependency at 3.0.0.
Most of these license have probably changed in the past 12 years.

Anyways, see #4910
