LICENSE.txt has been changed to say "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/." in the commit "Clean up README" fab0a72.

Do you realise that the NonCommercial clause makes the new versions of your library proprietary, as opposed to the previous MIT license which was open source? Many projects (such as my employer) won't be able to use new versions of your library anymore, as the projects are open source. I hope you can still reconsider this license change.
