v3 patch fix incorrect usage of _LICENSE_GROUPS and use _LICENSE_PERMS_DEFAULT

mat@ I understand your point, for example the APACHE20 license
https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html has a template at the bottom
of the page, for applying the license to your own work.

However in the case of the WTFPL2 the line:

>+ Copyright (C) 2004 Sam Hocevar <sam at hocevar.net>

Is *not* the copyright of the whole work, but specifically the copyright of the
license itself, and therefore belongs with the license.

For example we already have PHP301 with a similar line:

> Copyright (c) 1999 - 2010 The PHP Group. All rights reserved.

I revised the patch to fall through to use _LICENSE_PERMS_DEFAULT

_LICENSE_PERMS_DEFAULT=>dist-mirror dist-sell pkg-mirror pkg-sell auto-accept 

I think this addresses the open concerns.
