mne-python is either GPL or non-free now due to mne/io/edf/gdf_encodes.txt

See original GitHub issue

mne/io/edf/gdf_encodes.txt from biosig says

so either then mne-python is effectively under GPL license or non-free (no modifications allowed)… what it is ? 😉 May be @schloegl could relax this restriction (I am really not sure why not to allow changes/fixes etc)?
