Consider relicensing to MIT/Apache 2.0 #52

@TheButlah

Description

@TheButlah

The license is currently the MPL 2.0, so I wouldn't be able to use this at work. This is because any derivative work might have to also be licensed as MPL, even if I just used it in an unrelated project. The MPL is less copyleft than something like the GPL v3 because to my knowledge it applies on a per-file basis rather than any derivative work, but I Am Not A Lawyer and I don't want to accidentally get my employer/myself into a copyright infringement, even if in good faith.

Would you consider re-licensing under a permissive and not reciprocal license like the MIT or Apache 2.0 licenses? (Or better yet, both).
There is strong precedent for re-licensing under these, rust itself avoids the MPL.

Note that you might have to get the explicit approval of contributors, like bevy did
