[MapServer-dev] Missing license for the documentation repository

[Jeff McKenna]

errr  (I'm having a bad day it seems)......the repo license is actually 
in /en/copyright.txt and covered by CC BY SA)

Closing that Pull Request.

Again, my apologies.  Darn.  I'll try to clarify this in the README.md 
now, instead.
