Granting more permissive license to integrate upstream #84
Description
Some of the implementations in this repository are drop-in replacement for standard Go library functions. Contributing them back upstream, to golang/go, could benefit the ecosystem as a whole with little drawback to Twilio Segment, as segmentio/asm is already released under the permissive MIT license. However, we did not anticipate the attribution requirement of this license to prevent its adoption in the standard library (example: utf8.Valid CL). It is a non-starter to include derivatives of MIT-licensed code in the Go standard library, because it would force all people who distribute Go program binaries to include the license and copyright assignment to Segment.
As a result, would you consider re-licensing the code in this repository to permit its integration into Go without attribution?
For example: MIT-0 ("MIT No Attribution License").
Thank you!
