…ibution Replace the CC0 1.0 license with BSD-3-Clause-Attribution for hwy/contrib/random/random-inl.h. CC0 is discouraged for code under some legal regimes (see Fedora's allowed-licenses guidance), so this moves the file to a Fedora-approved BSD variant while preserving attribution to the xoshiro256++ algorithm authors (David Blackman and Sebastiano Vigna).

Thank you! Would you mind also removing from LICENSE the part "The following files are licensed under different terms: * hwy/contrib/random/random-inl.h: CC0 1.0 Universal", |
Per review feedback on PR google#3028, remove the per-file exemption and the CC0 1.0 Universal full-text section from LICENSE. Update the SPDX identifier in hwy/contrib/random/random-inl.h to the project's standard 'Apache-2.0 OR BSD-3-Clause' so the file inherits the top-level dual license.

Closes #3026.
CC0 is discouraged for code in some legal regimes — Fedora's allowed-licenses guidance flags it because copyright durations vary by jurisdiction and the extent to which copyright can be waived isn't uniform. Per the discussion on #3026, this PR moves
