We have been asked to by a community member to change our license from Apache 2.0 to MIT #3440

This issue asks for a License change: #1727

We have discussed the matter with our legal types and they have approved us making this change.

For contributors: It will mean a bulk edit of the headers, sorry folks but the headers include the licence the software is released under: see here:

// Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation.  All Rights Reserved.  Licensed under the Apache License, Version 
2.0.  See License.txt in the project root for license information.

The text of the MIT licence can be found here: https://mit-license.org/

We are inclined to make the change and so we would like to give notice that we will be making the change. Please let us know if the License change will cause difficulties for you.

I propose that we will make the change on September, 1st 2017 to allow you the time to consider this change.

Thanks

Kevin
