Some NOTEs on licensing:

  • There's a difference between the source form (i.e. this Git repo here) and the distribution form (i.e. .crate files on crates.io).
    I believe it's fine to have e.g. #12 or [dev-dependencies] as long as users of the magic Rust crate don't need to concern themselves with such details.
  • [dependencies] used by the distribution form should be MIT OR Apache-2.0 as well.
  • Since this is a binding crate, documentation is partially copied from file / libmagic which has a custom, BSD-ish license.
    I think this is not an issue, but the documentation could be replaced / improved anyways.

Given that this adds another license choice, it should be a semver compatible change.
Either way, people should automatically use the license key from Cargo.toml and not just eyeball a README or such once.

License is also part of the OpenSSF best practice, see #48

License should've been updated inside the repo and outside of it.
