Relicense under 3-clause BSD

[untitaker]

As per #253 a portion of contributors has given me permission to relicense vdirsyncer under any OSI license. I want to switch to the 3-clause BSD for 0.16.

Contributors that have not commented on #253 are by @beli3ver and @benjaminfrank as far as I can tell (other contributions are one-line typo fixes). Would you be fine with your contributions being relicensed under the 3-clause BSD license?

Go ahead. Is for me OK. Am 26. März 2017 14:37:09 MESZ schrieb Markus Unterwaditzer <notifications@github.com>:

Any reason to pick the 3-clause BSD over MIT or ISC?

[untitaker]

The endorsement clause seems important to me.

Oh, sorry, I though of the 2-clause. I got them all mixed up.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm okay with any of the MIT/BSD/ISC licenses.

[untitaker]

Ah sorry, I thought you also signed the generic OSI-compatible waiver. Thanks for confirming.

[WhyNotHugo]

Nope, I hadn't. 😛

@benjaminfrank could you please leave a short comment on whether you approve of your contribution (the .plist file for vdirsyncer) being relicensed under the 3-clause BSD license? Thanks!

Since @benjaminfrank didn't respond and technically I can relicense MIT code to 3-clause BSD without the copyright holder's consent, I will presumably do that tomorrow. However, I will exclude the contrib folder from the pypi distribution, partially due to the unrelated reason of minimizing tarball size.
