Relicense to MIT + APACHE + CC0

[janhohenheim]

Started by this discussion on Discord, it seems like a template like Foxtrot would be better licensed under CC0. The main rationale is that users of the template should be able to license their games however they want, but the current situation might actually force them to use MIT/APACHE!

To get this done, I need the okay from the following contributors:

• [x] @janhohenheim
• [x] @TimJentzsch
• [x] @bash
• [x] @PhaestusFox
• [x] @EmiOnGit

If your name is on this list, please copy-paste the following as a comment under this issue:

I license past and future contributions under the CC0 license

The following contributors have helped with smaller edits and do in my opinion not need to give their consent for this relicense to be valid. It would be nice still if you could copy-paste the above as well, just to be sure :)

• [x] @0x0539
• [x] @BlackPhlox
• [x] @coopbri
• [ ] @dvanderleij
• [ ] @vijaypemmaraju
• [ ] @MarcusSakae

Update: per further discussion, the project should be triple-licensed like https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy_github_ci_template to effectively waive patent rights. Since all contributors have already agreed to the MIT and Apache licenses in the past, this should be no problem.

Update 2: Just to be sure: I, Jan Hohenheim, hereby waive all patent rights to the Bevy game template known as "Foxtrot"
