Description
We need to update the LICENSE file to match OpenJDK and add the missing ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO and ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION files.

Note that the OpenJDK LICENSE file was modified by JDK-8154469 to update the FSF address, so we just need to apply that patch (or copy the file from OpenJDK). The other two files have never been in OpenJFX, but need to be. Note that the ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO file was recently added by JDK-8193208; the ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION file has been there since the early days of OpenJDK.

Comments
Backport to 10u is even more trivial, since the identical patch can be used.

Backport to 8u is trivial. The changes to the existing LICENSE file and the added ASSEMBLY_EXCEPTION file apply cleanly. The ADDITIONAL_LICENSE_INFO will not be added since that file is new as of JDK 9.

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kcr/8202036/webrev/ Simple fix as described above. The three files in question now exactly match the ones in the jdk/jdk repo.
