License changed from BSD to MIT without permission about mssql-django HOT 5 CLOSED

@sparrowt - Yes, tracking this issue here is recommended. Thanks

from mssql-django.

I noticed that LICENSE.txt has now been reverted to BSD 3-Clause by 4dfb39c, thank you!

For some reason GitHub isn't displaying the license 'infobox' at the top of https://github.com/microsoft/mssql-django/blob/dev/LICENSE.txt (whereas for example the parent of this fork does) - see here re auto-detection - possibly due to this extra line at the top:

Project Name: mssql-django

from mssql-django.

The other thing mentioned in the description of this issue is the copyright notice - unfortunately this still says simply:

Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation

which doesn't acknowledge the years of work by the following (from previous license files linked above):

django-pyodbc developers

Michiya Takahashi

ES Solutions AB

though I realise this may be more of a grey area, but I thought I'd point it out.

@sparrowt - Thanks for your patience - I've now updated the License.txt file in the dev branch to account for the historical copyright notices. This will be merged this week and be part of the subsequent releases.
