LICENSE: change license to MIT

Browse Source 
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.
