Improve our copyright statement

Our existing license notice (in chrome://settings/help):

neither mentions the fact that Brave is under the MPL nor links to the license.

For comparison, here's how Firefox does it (in about:license):

Ideally, we should link to the exact version tag on GitHub instead of linking just to https://github.com/brave/brave-browser.

@fmarier Copyright statement is slightly different, In #6605 (comment) The Brave Authors is mentioned but in 0.71.114 it's replaced by Brave Software Inc, which one is correct, could you please confirm?

[kjozwiak]

Assuming Brave Software Inc is the correct one as using The Brave Authors wouldn't make sense in a copyright sentence IMO. I'll let @fmarier comment though 👍

[tildelowengrimm]

I don't think that Brave Software Inc. is right here. We didn't actually write the whole thing.

[kjozwiak]

@tomlowenthal can you create a follow up issue with the correct wording that needs to be used? We usually don't use the same issue and associate multiple PR/fixes to minimize confusion.

[tildelowengrimm]

@kjozwiak I'm not proposing a change. I'm just suggesting that the fix should match what @fmarier wrote above.

Thanks @tomlowenthal. Created #6883 so we can unblock QA and address the issue in another release.
