MIT license to be applied to Mirah

[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 MIT
license.

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php

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 Kocić)

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 MIT licensed.

Ok, at least one contributor has raised the issue of patent grants,
which MIT license does not cover (and which he insisted we really must
cover).

So I'm going to reboot the process and go with Apache 2.0, which seems
to be the most-preferred permissive license w/ patent grant clauses in
it.

Disregard this thread, I will reboot the process in a separate thread.
