currently, visjs-network is dual-licensed under both the Apache-2.0 and MIT permissive open source licenses.

I'm thinking about simplifying the license to only be Apache-2.0, to lower the cognitive load for potential new users of visjs-network

I prefer Apache-2.0 over MIT as it is more clear about patent grants (and so a more permissive license).

what do you think about shifting the project to a single permissive open-source license?

I'll leave this open for comment for a few days, and then go ahead with this change if no serious objections are heard.
