Decide on a licence. #15

Absolute must to have a licence if we want people to use the project. I'm partial to MIT since its not too restrictive for people using it for any purpose but have also used unlicence before.

What are your thoughts on this @8BitPimp ?

My thoughts were MIT too. I've never used the unlicence before and don't know much about it. Would it have any advantages over MIT?

Unlicensed is basically putting the code in the public domain and wavering all rights. I'm happy with MIT though, I like the idea of people being able to see who wrote the code.

Following on from that, I'm not sure how MIT works with shared copyright, do you?. Will need to dig deeper on that I think.

I really know very little about licences, but i'm happy to wave all rights in favour of people actually using the library. But a bit of credit never hurts :) I'm comfortable to defer to whatever you are happy with here.
