Liberal License #18

SUMMARY

Since this repo is a template, I think we should license it liberally such as MIT or BSD. otherwise, Apache 2 licensed collections can't use this as their template due to licensing.

Things that need to be done to address this:

Explanation that the license (GPLv3+) is not the license of the template but only an example.
Add liberal license text for whoever uses the template
Get permission from past contributors to license their contributions under the liberal license
Probably want to link to something which outlines GPL responsibilities when writing non-module plugins (Needs to be gplv3+ when writing those because they import pieces of ansible which are GPL-v3+).
