• Changing Software to Apache 2.0 License.

  I'm in the processs of changing the default license to the Apache 2.0 license for all software on the site. Nothing at the moment really requires it but the software licensing landscape is changing rapidly and the extra defense provided may come in handy later on. Best to do it now when not much is affected.
