The previous licence (CC-BY-4.0) turns out not to be ideal for softwares. My suggestion is to go with GNU GPLv3, which is rather permissive, with the only exception being that no one can make derivative work with ED2 and put it in closed software. If anyone sees this as a problem, or is more versed in licences than I am, please let me know your thoughts on it.

Description
The previous licence (CC-BY-4.0) turns out not to be ideal for softwares.
My suggestion is to go with GNU GPLv3, which is rather permissive, with the only exception being that no one can make derivative work with ED2 and put it in closed software. If anyone sees this as a problem, or is more versed in licences than I am, please let me know your thoughts on it.
I am making this PR a draft one because if we go with GNU GPLv3, we may want to go through every file and add the suggestions listed at the end of the licence itself. I am happy to do it if people are onboard with it.
