From 5170abfae9e3aeb27f2f442192c6cd2cc210626f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Peter Chokola Date: Thu, 14 Apr 2022 20:22:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] add LICENSE Kris Winer originally included a Beerware license in some files which were not retained. It is my understanding that such a permissive license allows sublicensing, so I've chosen the MIT license. Also, I've kept attribution notices in the source code per Kris' wishes. I would personally prefer to release this source to the public domain, but as I understand it, that would violate Kris' attribution statement; the MIT license is nearly as permissive, but requires maintenance of a copyright notice.
