The reasons for the relicensing are two:

  1. profiting from the higher popularity of MIT license over Simplified BSD (~45 % vs ~2 % on GitHub[1], 19 % vs <1 % on Open Hub[2]) and
  2. avoiding confusion with the several incompatible BSD licenses[3].

I want to do this relicensing properly so I am going to block this PR until all contributors give agreement.

The list of poliastro contributors boil down to @Jorge-C and me. I am no longer distributing the Fortran subroutines so they will remain BSD licensed in poliastro 0.1 and 0.2.

@Jorge-C, do you give consent to change the license to MIT?

I can't believe it but I left the most important file unchanged: the license itself 😳 I will change this ASAP for master, I might need to release a 0.3.1 version with the right one too.
