Re-license plotnine to the MIT license

[has2k1]

We are re-licensing plotnine to MIT. It was only licensed as GPL since it was derived from ggplot2 which was GPL at the time, and, now that ggplot2 is MIT, we can relicense plotnine.

To make this change to plotnine, we need the approval of all copyright holders, which I have found by reviewing contributions from all contributors made after the January 2017 change to GPLv2.

If so, please comment "I agree" below.

Sorry I was off the radar for some time. I do give my permission to relicense my contribution referenced above to the MIT license. Please feel free to cherry-pick my contributions back into the src.

@hyiltiz, great. I figured, thank you.
