Updating Genode's license to AGPLv3 + open-source linking clause

I presumed that Vasily intends to actually distribute/deploy his own
software. If he keeps it private, he can do whatever he likes.

As a side note, I would prefer to not side-track the discussion too
much. For general GPL questions, one may refer to existing and
comprehensive resources like the GPL FAQ. Let us keep the discussion
focused on Genode's particular case.

Regards
Norman
