switch to MIT license

[BurntSushi]

The WTFPL causes people to not want to use this library. Historically, I've been against changing the license mostly because it's just a pain to do so. Ideally, we'd like to get a sign off from all people that have made non-trivial contributions. (And if we can't, we either need to stop the re-licensing process or remove/rewrite those contributions. I'm not particularly inclined to the do latter, but if we can do the former, than we should.)

So, this issue is going to track the relicensing progress. I'll start by listing some of the major contributors, where I interpreted "major" as "100 lines of code or more."

• @BurntSushi
• @cespare
• @sqs
• @rjeczalik
• @ttacon
• @bbuck
• @halostatue
• @sethwklein

Once everyone has signed off, we will switch to the MIT.

[rjeczalik]

MIT 👍

[sqs]

Sounds good to me. I consent to the relicensing.

[halostatue]

👍 I affirm relicensing of my contribution.

[bbuck]

I will consent to relicensing as well.

[sethwklein]

MIT is fine with me.

[cespare]

I'm fine with MIT.

[ttacon]

Sounds good to me!

[BurntSushi]

Thanks everyone!

... That was much easier than I thought.

@BurntSushi are there plans to tag a new release, now that the license changed?
