Suggestion to change Polycode to use Unlicense. #720

First of all I do not endorse other people who want to make a fork out of Polycode to not credit the original author back as that is not ethical.

Why I suggest for Polycode to use Unlicense is because since the term Free (as in Freedom) and Open Source means that the user can own the code/software as soon as the downloads it and uses it. Placing any kind of restrictions within the software or in terms of legal stuff, ruins the sense of freedom and gives off a sense of no ownership as there are restrictions in place as to how people can use the code.

Unlicense still does protect the original authors from people suing the orginasation.
