Apache 2.0 license

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

Ok ok, enough people finally hassled me about picking a license
formally that we're going forward with it. I'd like to use the Apache
2.0 license

http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0.html

There are currently 12 contributors to the project, according to
Github. I give my permission, obviously, and technomancy and calavera
have given theirs. That leaves:

consiliens ++
ribrdb ++
baroquebobcat (Nick Howard) ++
nex3 (Nathan Weizenbaum) ++
undees (Ian Dees)
technomancy (Phil Hagelberg)
bzoller (Bob Zoller) ++
xraid (xraid) ++
Osseta (Anthony Richardson) ++
markokocic (Marko Kocic)

Of these, only the ones marked with ++ have contributed 20 or more
lines of code, which is the FSF's cut-off for copyright. So we need
those authors to grant permission for sure, and the others would be
nice as well. THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION. I will forward this to
individual 20-plus contributors as well.

Commits going forward will be Apache 2.0 licensed.

Ok, we're just missing Bob Zoller, xraid, and Marko Kocic. Thanks folks!

My impression was that Mirah had inherited the Apache 2 license from Duby on Project Kenai.

[Charles Oliver Nutter]

We probably could have argued that, but most of the contributions came
after it moved to Github and became Mirah, and there was never a
LICENSE file to tell people what they were getting into...so better to
tidy it up.

Thanks Bob! That wraps up all contributors :)

I will proceed to commit an Apache 2.0 license file, and we'll figure
out whether we need to include some header in all source as well.
