Switch all packages to MIT license

[mojombo]

For best compatibility with Node community norms.

So do we need written consent from @BinaryMuse to switch the license of atom/tree-view (from Apache) since he has made contributions?

[mojombo]

Yes, that's my understanding. Would you mind asking?

[kevinsawicki]

Sure, I'm e-mail him tomorrow if he doesn't see this thread tonight.

[BinaryMuse]

That's totally fine. :)

[kevinsawicki]

@BinaryMuse Awesome, thanks so much.

[mojombo]

We've actually decided to use MIT instead of BSD, since it's the standard GitHub permissive license and the Node community hasn't actually settled on a single dominant license of choice.

@BinaryMuse are you ok with your contributions to atom/tree-view being relicensed under the MIT license? Sorry for the noise.

[BinaryMuse]

@mojombo No problem at all. I usually use the MIT license anyway.

[mojombo]

@BinaryMuse Awesome, thanks again!

This has been completed, all packages currently shipping with Atom have been updated with a new LICENSE.md
