Subject: [PATCH] Update Contributing.md stating we can not accept PRs that are
 GPL (#9483)

Recently someone submitted a PR that included a crate that used the GPL
license.

To avoid this happening in the future we updated the Contributing.md
document stating
this specifically so people will not be confused about our policy.
