- Added the "(at your option) any later version" clause to the NDK license with

permission of the author. 

- Clarify the license requirements by breaking it to its own section and in this
case requiring the NDK to still be released as LGPLv2.1 or GPLv2 even if it is
released with a GPLv3 application.

- Minor spelling error fix
