Switch license to GPL-3
What does this MR do?
License DORiE under GNU General Public license 3.0. Updating the license is necessary due to modified DUNE-PDELab code being merged into the repo by !105 (merged). PDELab is licensed under LGPLv3 which requires codes containing modifications of the PDELab source code to be licensed under an equally strong or stronger compatible copyleft license.
What does the new license mean?
As before, DORiE may be privately and commercially used, distributed and modified. However, the conditions for doing so are more restricted than under the MIT license. When distributing software, the DORiE source code must be made available. Larger works utilizing DORiE, as well as modifications of DORiE itself, must be release under the same license. See https://choosealicense.com/licenses/gpl-3.0/ for further information.
Is there something that needs to be double checked?
No.
