I don't know how proud you are of your choice of the MIT license. Personally I quite like it and I think it's important for this project. I respect the choice of EPL for Clojure but I think for some projects it makes sense to make copying, pasting, and modifying a little easier.

I've been seeing Distributed under the Eclipse Public License, the same as Clojure. in most Clojure projects and I was reminded that it's created by leiningen project generators when I used lein-noir to create a new noir app. I thought it would be fun to take their template and change it a bit to match with the license I was using, MIT. Once I changed it on my unreleased project, I figured I'd see if the Ring maintainers would appreciate this change. So here it is.

I hope you like it. If not, I apologize.

Whilst I appreciate the sentiment, I don't really see the point of referring to another project that happens to use MIT. Lots of projects use MIT; why refer to node.js in particular when it has nothing to do with Clojure or Ring?

@benatkin

I think it's where a lot of node.js's popularity comes from. But yes I agree, node.js is different, and for other people it might not be the first thing to come to mind when they hear MIT License. Again sorry for the noise, and thanks for ring!
