Consider relicensing internal/mathex/float80.go

[guilherme-puida]

Hi! I'm working on updating fq on Debian. I noticed that internal/mathex/float89.go references the Unlicense "license". It is not clear if code under the Unlicense can be accepted in the archives.

fq/internal/mathex/float80.go

Lines 1 to 27 in 56c4722

	// Float80 type from https://github.com/mewspring/mewmew-l
	// modified as bit to read bytes instead of hex string

I also noticed that there is only one commit that touches this file, so it should be possible to relicense it to a more conventional license. I think that just deleting the unlicense text should be enough, since the code would be licensed under the MIT license.

Thanks!
