More pemissive license? #562

I'm not sure if it is appropriate, but can you please replace the license by a more permissive one? For example, MIT or Apache 2.0. I would like to use this library (in the build.rs), but the company that I'm currently working at has a policy that forbids MPL license.

@stanislav-tkach Whats wrong with MPL? It allows static linking in close source projects, A perfect midpoint of LGPL and MIT.

@LastLightSith Honestly I'm not sure, but in my company this license (both 1.1 and 2 versions) is in the "COMPLETELY NOT allowed" list along with GPL, AGPL, CDDL, and MS-PL. As far as I understand, I still can use cbindgen as a separate tool without integrating it into build.rs. It creates only minor inconvenience, so I don't really care to find out why this license is forbidden.
