Add licensing exception for the logo file

We add a COPYING section to the README file to explicitly state that the overall project is published under the terms of the 3-clause BSD license. We use that section to explicitly state that, as an exception, the logo file is _not_ distributed under the terms of the 3-clause BSD license and may _not_ be used by anyone outside of Monarch members and collaborators.
