Add a proper license #2

Closed dougthor42 closed 8 years ago

Love the project, but you probably want to add a proper license.

The Open Source Initiate suggests not using Public Domain
Why the Public Domain Isn’t a License

Slap the MIT License there and you're good to go.

The actual license embedded in the source is:

This software is dual-licensed to the public domain and under the following license: you are granted a perpetual, irrevocable license to copy, modify, publish, and distribute this file as you see fit.

I've updated the readme to make this clear.

Ah yes, I didn't see that. Perfect!

Sorry to bug you :smile:
