Addresses: #267
This is a request that came in a while ago, getting to it with the repos in closest reach.

@mikedotexe we use MIT LICENSE by default I think, nearcore is using GPL only because it historically has used GPL code

@mikedotexe make sure LICENSE is fixed in other places as well, e.g. I didn't notice https://github.com/nearprotocol/near-wallet/blob/master/LICENSE

I took the license from nearcore here:

I took the license from nearcore here:

yes, that's what I figured:

nearcore is using GPL only because it historically has used GPL code

Stuff outside of nearcore shouldn't use GPL, but should use more permissive MIT license (see e.g. https://github.com/nearprotocol/nearlib/blob/master/LICENSE)
AFAIK nearcore also doesn't plan to keep using GPL forever.

Also we promise MIT license in https://github.com/nearprotocol/near-shell/blob/ffeb8db08f570e449610f02078e997be56f5cbc6/package.json#L19, so having different one in repository would be super confusing.
