[License-discuss] Certifying MIT-0

[Tobie Langel]

Thank you all for your thoughtful comments and great pointers.

Let me know, Mark, if I can help draft the proposal. I have zero experience
doing so, but at least it's fitting given the license name. :)

And please feel free to copy me on the submission. I'll be happy to add my
use case provided my client implements this recommendation by then.

Thanks again, all.
