From d4d1ccd8096dd890eccfaec5ca795803e42600b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mischa POSLAWSKY Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2008 04:04:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] change to MIT license Add a proper license instead of the just saying 'public domain' (arguably unfulfilling, see http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6225). The MIT or X11 license is similar in intent to the perceived PD, and should provide all if not more rights to users. It's essentially the same as the 2-clause BSD and ISC licenses.
