[oi-dev] Copyright for contributors - not in files, OI branded zones, binary compatibility

[Garrett D'Amore]

The prototypes follow this (the following is the file usr/src/prototypes/README in illumos-gate):

To ensure that everyone can use the same boilerplate text without triggering
copyright ownership because of the boilerplate itself, I hereby place the
following text in the public domain, which should be used to reference the
CDDL version 1.0 for each new file introduced in illumos.
