[SPDX] As the last rebase introduced a couple of changes in the LICENSE.txt

Browse source 
file
I have decided to look into the licensing of this package
After some analysis I found the following licenses:
(MIT OR GPL-2.0-only) AND GPL-2.0-only AND BSD-2-Clause

Since:
The main LICENSE.txt file has the GPL-2.0-only license inside it.
the sphinx_rtd_theme project is licensed under MIT/GPL-2.0-only
most of the project has explicit headers in the files stating to use the
license of the `sphinx_rtd_theme project`
namely:
all the files inside docs/mysqlx/_themes/sphinx_rtd_theme/locale/
some of the files inside docs/mysqlx/_themes/sphinx_rtd_theme/static/js
though some of the last mentioned ones also have GPL2 specified in them
as an alternative to the MIT

The search.html file is licensed under the BSD-2-Clause since it
contains a link to this file:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/master/LICENSE
which is an invalid link because the target file was renamed to
LICENSE.rst therefore the link should be:
https://github.com/sphinx-doc/sphinx/blob/master/LICENSE.rst
and the target of said link contains the BSD-2-Clause license

The main LICENSE.txt file also contains the:
Universal FOSS Exception, Version 1.0
which can be found here:
https://oss.oracle.com/licenses/universal-foss-exception/
as linked in the LICENSE.txt file
I will not mention the exception in the License clause since there is
an issue opened on gitlab which can be found here:
https://gitlab.com/fedora/legal/fedora-license-data/-/issues/182
which states that the exception should be omitted for the time being.
I will try to reach out to the people assigned to the issue as the last
update to it was in 2023 and this exception is present in multiple mysql
product we package.
