Minor updates to Android Market Licensing Service docs. 

- Removed sentence implying that free aplications can get a LICENSED response. (Free apps aren't supported by the licensing service.)
- Added note indicating that draft apps always return LICENSED.
- Added note reminding users that test responses can be set for certain users.

<p class="note"><strong>Note:</strong> As documented in <a href="#test-env">

Setting Up The Testing Environment</a>, the response code can be manually

overridden for the application developer and any registered test users via the

Android Market publisher site.

<br/><br/>

Additionally, as noted above, applications that are in draft mode (in other

words, applicaitons that have been uploaded but have <em>never</em> been

published) will return LICENSED for all users, even if not listed as a test

user. Since the application has never been offered for download, it is assumed

that any users running it must have obtained it from an authorized channel for

testing purposes.</p>
