Consider releasing Mezzano into the public domain using the Unlicense? #168

MIT license is one of the best licenses, but have you considered just releasing Mezzano into the public domain using the Unlicense?

I've been releasing all my projects under the Unlicense for years to ensure maximum usefulness of my contributions, and encourage everyone to do the same. There is no point in corrupting open source codebases with copyright, the biggest scam in history!

I'll stick with MIT. I want to avoid dealing with software licenses as much as possible, including switching them around.
