Moved License to Apache 2.0 #22

Rational for switching to Apache 2.0:

Apache 2.0 is very similar to and compatible with the BSD3 license, with a few key differences
Apache 2.0 provides a patent grant for contributors to users
Apache 2.0 says that contributors must be the copyright owner for the work they are submitting (guarding against plagiarism)

For these reasons, we'd like to switch licenses. I'd welcome voicing opinions and comments here.
