This PR changes the licensing of the node-template and FRAME examples from the Unlicense to MIT No Attribution License.
While I ideologically agree with the Unlicense, licensing software with the Unlicense can have the opposite effect of the desired goal; it can in reality make it impossible for people to use the software freely.
For more information on why this is:
I chose the MIT No Attribution License (MIT-0) as the replacement, as this license seems to best align with the goals of the Unlicense while also being globally enforceable/valid.
Why not CC0?
The CC0 license potentially has the same issue as the Unlicense
Additional Notes
The fast-unstake and transaction-storage pallets also use the Unlicense. I'll create a separate PR to update them to Apache-2 to keep them consistent with the other FRAME pallets.
