  1. admin: Change open source license to Apache 2.0

    By majority vote of the TSC, we are changing OpenImageIO's main
    incoming/outgoing open source license from BSD-3-Clause to Apache-2.0.
    New code submitted from July 1, 2023 will be contributed under the
    Apache 2.0 license.
    
    Old code submitted prior to July 1 2023 is under the original BSD
    3-clause license, unless relicensed per the process described in the
    new RELICENSING.md file. We hope to get the vast majority of the code
    base relicensed quickly and we will document which set of files
    contain a mixture of licenses.
    
    Instructions to everybody reading this:
    
    * If you are contributing code under the authorization of an employer,
      please let them know we are changing to Apache 2.0 and make sure
      that you are authorized to make all future contributions to under
      that license.
    
    * If you made prior contributions to OpenImageIO over the years and
      are willing to relicense your code under the Apache 2.0 license,
      please submit a PR adding your name to the list in RELICENSING.md.
      If you were working for a company that might own your IP output at
      the time you made those contributions, please also ask somebody
      there (who has the authority to do so) to submit a PR adding the
      company name as well, indicating that they are re-submitting all of
      the old contributions under the new license.
