Simplify LICENSE wording
Now, before you call your lawyers, here is some explanation: The MIT/X Consortium-License and ISC-License are equivalent according to the Berne-convention. This means that a court of law presented with either licenses will act the same. The advantage of the ISC license is that it has a simpler wording and is recommended by the OpenBSD-project for new projects[0]. And as we at suckless.org love removing cruft, this also includes removing legal cruft wording that is not needed any more. [0]: http://www.openbsd.org/policy.html
