What is the license of this project? #134

According to the LICENSE file in the project, (and, according to what Github identifies this project as being licensed as), this project is licensed under the MIT license. However, according to the pom.xml, the project is under the Apache 2.0 license. Is the project under both licenses, or just under one of the two? If so, which one? It appears that the original project created by @martint as s3fs was under an Apache 2.0, but then this fork has added it as MIT.

I would ilke to fork this project and create a spin-off of it in order to revive it, but and I would like to know if it would be okay to have under both the MIT and Apache 2.0 licenses.

@martint , @jarnaiz : Would you be so kind and confirm? I've also sent both of you an e-mail with some more questions. I hope could get back to me.

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @jarnaiz ,

I hope that this message finds you in good health and that you are keeping well! I tried reaching you over e-mail and LinkedIn, but I fear it may have been marked as spam.

We would like to revive this project and have started a new spin-off (as opposed to just another one of the countless other forks) here.

@martint has confirmed that he would be happy for us to use either Apache 2.0, or MIT, or both as the license. Would you mind confirming your preference? Could we change it back from MIT to the Apache 2.0 license, as was used originally by @martint? I can see that this has caused confusion among the plethora of other forks where there was development that never made it back into your project and it would be great, if we could clarify things.

Please advise!

Looking forward to your reply,

Kind regards,

Martin
