Remove redundant copyright notices from README files
The normative place for these for the entire project is COPYING, and the main README already has a MIT license section. Rebased-From: e6df2bb48f4bff7a2dec4aa226102b0cf2cd828b

Setup
---------------------
[Bitcoin Core](http://bitcoin.org/en/download) is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. However, it downloads and stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions (which is currently several GBs); depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more. Thankfully you only have to do this once. If you would like the process to go faster you can [download the blockchain directly](bootstrap.md).
