Change GPL-3.0 license to BSD-3 license

Proposal: Change GPL-3.0 license to BSD-3 license
Motivation
This repository is currently licensed under the terms and conditions of the
GPL-3.0 license. GPL-3.0 is
copy-left which requires downstream projects to use the same license, prohibits
commercial use, and is not the NASA ESDS Open Source Software Policy.
ASF would like to change this repositories license to a permissive-use BSD-3 license
in order to be compliant with ESDS policy and be less restrictive to downstream projects.
ASF will only re-license notebooks that have approval from 100% of their named contributors.

Any notebooks not fully approved for re-licensing will retain their GPL-3.0 license,
which may necessitate their removal from the asf-jupyter-notebook repository.
Relicensing denied:
Below is a list of notebooks whose contributors have denied relicensing and
will need to either maintain their current license or be removed from the repository.
The strategy moving forward for these notebooks will be determined at a later date, with
input from all relevant contributors.
