The .gitignore files under the LICENSES/exceptions and LICENSES/other
directories cannot have a size of 0 or else they are subject to removal
by the make target 'distclean'. Modify the .gitignore files to
ignore all files except for themselves. This shall serve as a reminder
that these .gitignores can and should be removed when new licenses are
added.
