Change license to GPLv3 and merge tree into Firemix

License change to GPLv3 to match Firemix
@zbenjamin @underwatercolor are you okay with this?
I also plan to merge the tree into Firemix to coincide with the Py3/PyQt5 cutover, as I plan on doing a complete rewrite of the Firesim GUI code and think it would make sense to share common libraries with Firemix

I'm fine with changing the license, but it may be worth using a more permissive license on firemix/firesim as a whole to allow more derivative works or incorporation into other software. GPLv3 is pretty restrictive in that regard.

What license would you propose @zbenjamin ? I am interested in the license preventing closed-source derived works.

I don't really feel qualified to recommend a license. https://choosealicense.com/appendix/ lists a bunch, but it does look like the options are pretty limited if you want to prevent closed-source derivative works.
