I want to re-license this project into a more permissive license, like BSD License. Codes for capacitance measurements are basically a derivative of library "arduino-capacitor". And by inheritance mahjongAsst became GPLv3. Maybe refer to another capacitance measurement library with BSD, MIT thing, and remove the existing codes.

This can be resolved right away, because in fact capacitance measurement codes are NOT a derivative of arduino-capacitor. It's rather a derivative of codes written by same author below, which is not GPL licensed. https://wordpress.codewrite.co.uk/pic/2014/01/25/capacitance-meter-mk-ii/ Plus, the algorithm itself is a combination of circuit analysis equations. GPL doesn't apply to mere mathematical equations.

Planning to relicense EiMOS as MIT License.
