[perl #96000] Apply standard copyright license statement

The original authors have agreed to alter the licensing of these
files, in order to remove a potentially problematic invariant
title clause:

From: Doug MacEachern <dougm@…..com>
To: Jon Orwant <orwant@….com>
Cc: Jesse Vincent <jesse@fsck.com>
Subject: Re: [fwd] [perl #96000] Restrictive licensing term on pod/perlembed.pod, pod/perlmodinstall.pod
Message-ID: <1dc71b53-12e2-45d3-af62-f6d169147921@ox.local>
In-Reply-To: <CAJs5hDaW+k6mf_NBj-6hPyr4rGvkEjhVtXyJ8ziLXyXimcvgHA@mail.gmail.com>

Any license changes to perlembed.pod are fine with me.

Or just revert to the original version of the document: "Look at perlmain.c, and do something like that." ;)

Best,
-Doug
