Problem/Motivation

This project contains both Drupal code and code licensed by the jQuery foundation, and
There should be consensus on what, if any, additional copyright and licensing text need to be added.

Drupal core has a COPYRIGHT.txt which describes Drupal core as well as included projects (currently jQuery UI is in this list)
Modules are packaged with a LICENSE.txt with the GNU info.
Each css file and minified javascript file jquery ui file in this module has a comment block with copyright info.

Projects that link to the jQuery Foundation license are released under the terms of the MIT license
The current jQuery UI license is CC0 - no copyright.

Proposed resolution

Determine if additional copyright info is needed, and add the text.

Related issues: +#3119733: COPYRIGHT.txt outdated

The text in the patch here is part of core core/COPYRIGHT.txt file and that file was updated in May 2020 #3119733: COPYRIGHT.txt outdated. Is there a reason that another COPYRIGHT.txt is needed?

Ignore that. My search was wrong and I didn't realize I was in another project.
