Emil Velikov 6287b99eb7 Convert the tools and respective tests to SPDX (#2317)
This is the first part of converting the project to use SPDX license
identifiers instead using the verbose license text.

The patches are semi-automated and I've went through manually to ensure
no license changes were made. That said, I would welcome another pair of
eyes, since I am only human.

See https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/issues/2298

.Sh NAME
.Nm bsdcat
.Nd expand files to standard output
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op options
.Op files
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
expands files to standard output.
.Sh OPTIONS
.Nm
typically takes a filename as an argument or reads standard input when used in a
pipe.
In both cases decompressed data is written to standard output.
.Sh EXAMPLES
To decompress a file:
.Pp
.Dl bsdcat example.txt.gz > example.txt
.Pp
To decompress standard input in a pipe:
.Pp
.Dl cat example.txt.gz | bsdcat > example.txt
.Pp
Both examples achieve the same results - a decompressed file by redirecting
output.
