Change licence to be more permissible #243

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In my company we're looking to migrate towards a microservices architecture so we're currently looking into setting up a microservice chassis and template. PyMs seems to fit that role quite well and we'd love to use it. However, based on my understanding, if we use PyMS (which is licensed under GPL 3.0) that means we will also need to publish our commercial software under GPL 3.0, which is not an option for us.

Describe the solution you'd like Change the licence to something that is not copyleft.

Additional context The above is based on my best understanding and some light googling so please correct me if I'm wrong!

If we end up using PyMS we might also help contribute to the project.

Hello @mhusbyn forgive me for the delay in replying. I've been looking into it, and I think the Apache License might be a better fit. What do you think? Would it align with your objectives?

Apache probably works, yes 👍
