Consider a different license

[samwaterbury]

Hi! Thank you for sharing this research and code with the public.

Currently, other popular salient object detection implementations such as U2-Net and TRACER are licensed under Apache License 2.0. I'm curious if you are committed to the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license or if you are open to considering a more permissive license.

From a practical standpoint, the current license prohibits a lot of folks in the ML community from using (and therefore contributing back to or extending) this work.

Thanks for your advice and interest of this work, we are very likely to loosen the license. Since I do not have any experience in this, I put a relatively tight license here.

I will update and let you know.
