add an open source (un)license to this repository

[streichler]

It has been observed that this repo lacks any kind of license, which technically prohibits folks from modifying or incorporating these curated-for-legion gasnet configs into derivative works. I proposed that we use the Unlicense for this: https://choosealicense.com/licenses/unlicense/

(With the exception of the gasnet tarballs, which are redistributed under the terms of their license: https://gasnet.lbl.gov/dist-ex/license.txt )

@elliottslaughter @lightsighter @magnatelee @marcinz : as the other contributors to this repository, your explicit approval is required for this change. Please either grant approval or raise any questions/concerns you have. Thanks.

Whatever you do, please append a copy of the latest GASNet license or otherwise loudly clarify that the GASNet tarballs are governed by their own licenses embedded in each tarball.

[elliottslaughter]

I approve.

Yes, that is the plan. Assuming all the contributors on board, the next step will be a PR with the actual license file text, and I'll include you on the list of required approvers to be certain it is satisfactory from the gasnet team's perspective.
