Collection violates Ansible Community Package licensing guidelines #276

According to the Ansible Community Package licensing guidelines: "All other code [i.e. not modules or module_utils] must be under the GPL-3.0-or-later. These plugins are run inside of the Ansible controller process which is licensed under the GPLv3+ and often must import code from the controller. For these reasons, the GPLv3+ must be used."

See https://github.com/ansible-collections/overview/blob/main/collection_requirements.rst#id7 for more information. I'm not sure what is the procedure to rectify this, but I noticed it while preforming a license review for the Fedora ansible package and figured I'd point it out. It looks like @briantist is the only copyright owner/commiter, so I guess they'd have to relicense the file in question.

Thanks @gotmax23 , I think that was just an oversight from splitting off of a module_util. I'll likely fix this at the same time as #275 which is another licensing related thing I need to fix.
