    filter-repo: re-license · 47406a6c

    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.
