This feels strange to be posing as a question, since I'm one of the co-maintainers, but @sigmavirus24 and @erikrose, do you know if it's okay/legal for us to change the license of chardet? Because it was started by Mark Pilgrim I feel like it's kind of a nebulous question, because he's not someone you can just email, and he has nothing to do with development anymore. I would really like to change the license to at least be MPL, since that's what the C++ version is, and our setup currently mirrors that code pretty closely.

I'm not a fan of the LGPL and feel weird having a project I work on use it.
