Switch license from CC0 to MIT
hajimes opened this issue · comments
I plan to switch the license of this project from CC0 to MIT in the very near future.
The adoption of CC0 was an homage to Austin Appleby, the inventor of the MurmurHash3 algorithm, who published the code under the public domain.
However, CC0 is not recognized as an OSI-approved license, as it was withdrew in 2012 from the review process. Besides, in 2022, the Fedora community said they planned to demote the status of CC0 from "good" to "allowed-content only".
Considering these issues, I made a decision to adopt the MIT License, a simple yet one of the most popular OSI-approved permissive licenses.
The license change has been done in version 4.0.0.
