Subject: [PATCH] Remove mention of `copyright grant` or any implied notion of
 a CLA

Copyright assignment was not the intention with the standardising the license headers through the project.
As @danielkza describes, it's option (b) in [this comment](https://github.com/thelastpickle/cassandra-reaper/issues/561#issuecomment-423852079) that is the project's goal.
