Consider relicensing package? #11

Would you be up to reconsider the GPL-3.0 license this package is currently shipped with? The linking clause in the license is somewhat of a restriction, especially within Go programs, for commercial use cases.

MIT, ISC, or BSD-3 would be good candidates to switch to!

not too familiar with licensing, how is this restricting you?

Maybe this article can explain it better than I can - but the current license asks any users of the library to provide the source code for anything that "links" this packages code when it ships.

thanks for the article, switched license to MIT
