When I wrote git_fast_filter.py, I was unaware of and did not forsee libgit2. So, although the license said the project could be used under whatever license git.git was, there was still a potential barrier for usage by libgit2. I'm not sure if libgit2 will ever want to use filter-repo, but I don't want the barrier there and I would like to avoid a repeat of this problem. (Also, since filter-repo is for the most part a one-shot usage tool, I doubt that the normal copyleft provisions could provide much value.) MIT is widely used, compatible with just about everyting, and is preferred by Palantir (my current employer) for open source contributions. So, I contacted all other contributors (Jim is still at Sandia) and got permission to relicense. Signed-off-by: Elijah Newren <newren@gmail.com>
