Update license

[tbeu]

@jraedler In https://github.com/RWTH-EBC/AixLib/issues/313 it was asked to use netCDF-DataReader in a Modelica package licensed under https://www.modelica.org/licenses/ModelicaLicense2, see for example,

package MyMoLic2Package
  AnLGPL2Package.Component useIt;
  annotation(uses(AnLGPL2Package));
end MyMoLic2Package;

To be on the safe side when it comes to distribution of compiled models (e.g., FMUs) we might need to relicense netCDF-DataReader under MPL. What do you think? Any objections? Did you use any LGPL licensed code?

[jraedler]

For me its absolutely ok to relicense the code. I suggest the BSD 2-clause license, but MPL will be good just as well.

I found there is some third-party code used, csa.c and svd.c, but both have liberate licenses.

[jraedler]

This is an older version of the code at https://github.com/sakov/csa-c . The license shouldn't be a problem.
