License change to match Flask's BSD license about flask-bootstrap HOT 5 CLOSED

Well I for one welcome it, smart idea on unifying all the code into one license. I don't see what was the whole deal about having it Apache in the first place. What advantages does it have over the 3 clause BSD or GPLv3 licenses?

Great, thanks for your input. Really, I just pulled Apache out of a hat when I first put this project up -- I didn't anticipate doing any long-term maintenance. I may have pulled the license wholesale from another Python project using Jquery and Bootstrap, or from one of my projects -- can't remember.

I've since realized that quite a few people are interested in Flask project skeletons, so I intend to maintain it and even improve it (while still maintaining it as a minimal app skeleton). Thus the desire to harmonize this project's license with Flask's.

I'll probably going ahead and change the license next time I'm editing the README, since no one seems to object. Both Apache and BSD are pretty permissive and allow users to use the project for whatever they want -- including closed commercial projects -- as long as they retain the copyright notice and license.

@lizardlab I changed the license as discussed and also added an AUTHORS file for contributors. May I add you to that file? Alternately, you're welcome to add your name/id yourself in a PR.

That would be great! I'll let you do it, no need to go through the trouble of making another pull request for a line in one file.

Done!
