This PR remove the "Appreciate" app from Interface.
The app has been added to the "more" app (PR 31 of the Community-App reposititory)

It has been removed from the DefaultScript
so it won't be present by default anymore.
(It was not an application used enough to worth to be systematically in the toolbar 100% of the time)

Doing transfer I also found that it was using a GPLv3 component
Keeping this in a Apache 2.0 project would have required that we change the licence to GPLv3 too. (which we don't want to)

Removal of Appreciate from Interface scripts
It will be in More App where it should have been.

Merging this, as the Appreciate app in its current state indeed seems to infringe upon the GPLv3 license.
A quote from the Apache Software Foundations website: “We avoid GPLv3 software because merely linking to it is considered by the GPLv3 authors to create a derivative work.”
