Licence change

While in theory weather data is in canadian public domain due to they are no more than facts, ECCC has chosen to distribute them in OGL. Publishing as CC0 - especially for international distribution - would be illegal due to it has no attribution requirements. However, OGL is known to be compatible with CC BY 4.0 so have to stick with it for now.
