Correct licence in some net/common/current/src/ files

When we switched to the modified GPL (while I and the rest of the eCos
team was still at Red Hat), the BSD code in the net stack that included
the advertising clause could not be licensed that way as it conflicts with
the GPL. I removed the RHEPL and replaced it with either a public domain
clause, or just left the warning that it may be BSD derived.
I have now learnt authoratitively that for some files, they were written
completely from scratch, and thus since there is no BSD code involved, the
GPL should have been applied after all - that was the intention. I have
applied the Red Hat copyright of course, as it was us at Red Hat that
wrote it.
Patch attached and checked in.
