In 2021, the Plan 9 Foundation was able to get all historical Plan 9 releases re-licensed under the MIT license, as explained at http://p9f.org/about.html Based on this, many Plan 9-derived projects have been able to change from the Lucent Public License to MIT. This PR modifies the LICENSE file to use the MIT license. Figuring out how to do the copyright thing was a little more complicated; the re-released Plan 9 code contains a "Copyright 2021 Plan 9 Foundation" attribution, but I also added "Copyright 2016 Jeremy Jackins" to acknowledge the work done in the porting process.

Jeremy, I wasn't able to contact you via the email listed in your github profile. I wanted to ask you about re-licensing, but figured maybe it's easiest to just present a ready-to-go PR anyway. If you're not interested in re-licensing, please feel free to close the PR. |

Thanks! Please excuse the delayed response. |
