Hello,

Thanks for this excellent package!

We are going to use a number of functions from it:

from abydos.distance import (
    IterativeSubString,
    BISIM,
    DiscountedLevenshtein,
    Prefix,
    LCSstr,
    MLIPNS,
    Strcmp95,
    MRA,
    Editex,
    SAPS,
    FlexMetric,
    JaroWinkler,
    Sift4,
 )

Can we use a MIT license? Or do we have to use GPL?

Thanks.

@chrislit Any chance you could help us out here? We are trying to use abydos without a gpl license.
