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!

Would it make more sense to follow in the footsteps of indieweb/php-mf2 and move to CC0? See indieweb/php-mf2#76.

I have only copy-and-pasted the like-of to bookmark-of... the other improvements I planned to do never made it through.

But I'm okay with relicensing my Cmd+C Cmd+V to either CC0 or MIT or dual. :)
