TODO:

  • we should very carefully check what we import, to make sure that we can in fact claim a BSD 3-clause license (we can't import anything copyleft/GPL, for example; the grafo.. in the testsuite is kind of annoying, but not a true runtime dependency--I may actually try to get rid of that just to make life easier anyway)
  • need to figure out what LANL FCI currently has on record for our assigned license, and if it isn't BSD-3 we'll need a bit of back and forth with them to get the records updated
  • after this gets merged, make sure the license information is correctly displayed on our GitHub landing page as described at: https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository

* Add a BSD 3-clause license, matching `scikit-learn` does at:
https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/main/COPYING

* Our approach is the same as theirs, except that we change
the copyright holder to LANL.
