From 0fe66b96714f40afe2dd65f2fa0a827d701c76d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: unexplrd Date: Sat, 10 May 2025 19:37:12 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] LICENSE: change license to MIT The rationale is the Unlicense's sloppy wording and the fact that MIT License is generally more recognized and also used in the official nixpkgs repository [1]. The only difference between licenses is a condition of including a copyright notice when reusing large portions of the work. Thus, MIT license provides the same level of dedication to the public domain with no additional restrictions and is therefore considered a better reflection of the author's values and a compatible solution for relicensing this project. From this point, all work in this public repository is retroactively relicensed under the MIT license, with no additional obligations applied to any copy of the work being used in any scenario, as described in the MIT license, prior to this point.
