Relicence under Apache 2.0
I would like to relicence this library under the Apache Licence 2.0. The Apache licence is the permissive licence recommended by the FSF, because it contains terms that mitigate software patent issues. Apart from that, in practice it menas the same for the library as the MIT licence.
As the MIT licence allows sublicencing derivative works (as long as the new licence does not remove any conditions imposed by the MIT licence, and as long as the original MIT licence text is retained in the derivative work), this decision only affects licencing from here onwards.
@hansegucker, please approve or decline.
