Migrate license from GPL2 to MIT #16

This issue is for anyone interested in tracking the task of changing the license of the balance package.

If you have direct value in us making this change, please leave a comment with your use-case. Such comments would help us prioritize this work.

FYI: The reason balance is GPL is because one of our core algorithms (IPW using lasso logistic regression) uses the glmnet python package (which is GPL-2) - thus forcing us to keep our license as GPL.

We plan to move to sklearn so to be able to move to the MIT license, but no specific timelines yet.

Update: current plan is to resolve this by July, after moving from glmnet to sklearn. We'll make updates if the timeline changes.
