[Incubator] dual license model clarification

[Peter Baumann]

Hi community,

as I sensed some sentiments about our dual license model in the recent past I 
have tried to clarify this by way of the following text at [1]:

/*Contributions*//to the rasdaman community code come from a worldwide team of 
collaborators. Notably, a significant extent of the fixes and new functionality 
is coming from rasdaman GmbH (such as WMS recently). //*All community 
contributions submitted are made available in rasdaman community immediately 
after checking them for correctness and coherence (eg, with the code guide); no 
contribution whatsoever goes into rasdaman enterprise first*//. The only action 
the company undertakes is to keep both rasdaman variants in sync by merging the 
rasdaman community tree into rasdaman enterprise, which typically occurs upon 
release of versions so as to keep both in sync. Aside from that, rasdaman 
enterprise is developed exclusively by the company and does not contain any 
community code that rasdaman community does not contain. So rest assured that 
your valuable contributions are to the benefit of the worldwide user community. /

Is this understandable? Anything missing?

All comments are most welcome.

cheers,
Peter
