chore(license): make detectable by GitHub #199

Description

Currently, GitHub cannot detect the license for this project. The note about the fastify team in the LICENSE file prevents GitHub from being able to detect the license. The GitHub documentation notes the following:

If your repository is using a license that is listed on the Choose a License website and it's not displaying clearly at the top of the repository page, it may contain multiple licenses or other complexity. To have your license detected, simplify your LICENSE file and note the complexity somewhere else, such as your repository's README file.

In order to keep the whole thing intact and allow the license to be detected, I combined the three lines.

GitHub uses the ruby gem licensee to detect the license. I used that to test the changes.

Before:

$ licensee detect fastify-website
License:        NOASSERTION
