[guardian-dev] Code License

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

In general, GPLv3 is the most compatible license, so easiest to use with other
licenses. Check the licenses of the other software included in PixelKnot to
make sure its GPLv3 compatible.  There are some free software licenses that
are not, like early versions of Apple's license (APSL), projects marked "GPLv2
ONLY" like the Linux kernel, etc.
