This is easier to do before there are many contributors.

IMO, the best would be if libs like this one eventually became bundled in FLOSS PHP apps and this is easier with the MIT license than the Apache license. I was part of a group that worked hard to change the Bootstrap license from Apache to MIT for easy inclusion in GPL/LGPL apps: https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/2054

In my case, it's to include in Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, in the context of WikiSuite, for which IndieWeb is an inspiration. https://tiki.org/ -> Tiki is the Free/Libre/Open Source Web Application with the most built-in features https://tiki.org/License http://wikisuite.org/ -> WikiSuite is the most comprehensive and integrated Free / Libre / Open Source software suite ever developed. http://wikisuite.org/Component-criteria#IndieWeb

Thanks!

I am the only contributor to get_rel_webmention.php which I've already licensed CC0 inline in the file. I'm the primary author of the (non-test) code in link_rel_parser.php which I've also licensed CC0. If other contributors also agree to provide their contributions under CC0, then we can switch the repo over from Apache to CC0 which should work at least as well as MIT.

I don't care. You can use whatever license for my contributions. Including CC0 or MIT.
