License of generated code #187

Not really an issue, more a question/"feature" request:

The generated code ist still MIT licensed. Although it's a permissive license, this might possibly stop companies using asn1tools as they want (or have to, due to customer request) hold full copyright of software they sell.

Looking at other code generators (e.g. the GCC preprocessor), the resulting code is not licensed by the tool.

If asn1tools is supposed to be used commercially, I'd suggest to remove the licensing of the generated code.

If the license text in the generated files is problematic, feel free to remove it and see the code as yours.
