Switch license to MIT #4

pip is licensed under MIT, so it isn't able to accept GPL'ed contributions: https://github.com/pypa/pip/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

Given that the hope is that the REPL level install functionality in this project will eventually be rolled back into pip itself, it's probably better to use MIT as the license here as well.

(@reynoldsnlp I'm not sure how familiar you are with the vagaries of software licensing, but relicensing now is simple, as you're the only code contributor. If/when other folks contribute, you'd need their permission to change it, but right now, it's solely your decision)

I actually just woke up wondering if I should have checked pip's license to make sure this is compatible. Glad you noticed.
