PTAL?


This PR follows the advice from the Rust API guidelines (https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/necessities.html) which suggest to:

add [...] LICENSE-MIT in the repository root,
containing the text of the licenses (which you can obtain, for
instance, from choosealicense.com, for Apache-2.0 and MIT).

This helps software projects like Chromium to fullfil their requirements for explicitly covering license information for all of their dependencies (e.g. see https://crbug.com/369075726).


It would really help me if you could merge this PR and then publish a new version of the crate to crates.io. Thanks in advance!

Ooops... please excuse the almost immediate force push. I've realized that I didn't edit LICENCE-MIT to use your name (instead of a name I happened to copy from cargo-vet/LICENSE-MIT. Sorry about that.
