Unclear licensing #422

The LICENSE.txt in this repository contains the Apache 2.0 license and hence this is what GitHub shows as license for this package. However, the license specified in setup.py has been changed to GPLv3 in #392. Before that, it was specified as MIT in setup.py.

So, what is the current license of this code? If GPLv3, could the LICENSE.TXT be updated? If Apache, setup.py should reflect that as well.

It is now GPLv3 and was originally Apache I don’t think any work was done to do a formal license change so it is probably dual licensed at this point.

Additionally, let's add Apache to the list of licenses. It looks like
the authors do not know how the code is licensed and also do not care as
they do not plan to clarify this. Best guess is that it is dual licensed
under GPL3 and Apache.
