Switch to established open-source license #284

Could you consider using an established open-source license for this project? Pytest uses the MIT license, which might be a suitable option. With the current license, I am unable to use this project in my work. I understand that the library code will not be used in production directly (as it is a development dependency), but the current licensing still limits users who are bound by company policies that mandate the use of open-source software only.

Thank you for your consideration.

As one of the maintainers of this project, I agree and hereby second this motion. 👍

While I am normally partial to (A)GPL licenses, in this case I do not have a strong opinion regarding which OSI-compliant license is selected.
