Relicense under MIT

👋 Hey, has the title already states, would it be possible to consider publishing this project under the MIT License ? We currently have an issue with corporate policy in uglifyjs-webpack-plugin (#120), but it would be awesome if we could continue using cacache

@michael-ciniawsky would ISC be sufficient? That's usually what npm policy licenses things at.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know for sure tbh :), I just suggested MIT out of the blue as there shouldn't be any issues with that license

Slight +1 for ISC, to match the rest of npm's guts. @michael-ciniawsky Do you have lawyers or corporate governance/policy folks you can check with? The ISC license text (if they ask for it) would be this:

I'm only the middleman here, so I can't 💯 guarantee it, but according to webpack-contrib/uglifyjs-webpack-plugin#120 (comment) either ISC or MIT should definitely be sufficient. I will check the JSF (webpack && webpack-contrib) side again but I assume it is fine aswell. Anyways, thanks in advance for the quick response and openness so far 👍
