Make the license less restrictive. See #14 (#28)

* Make the license less restrictive. See #14

So that people can use _just_ main.sh without bothering with also
distributing the license

* Add license update to changelog

* Add a comment about expansion, see #26

* Use an unmodified MIT License, with the more permissive clause inside the code

As modifying the MIT License will needlessly (but rightfully) cause
suspicion

* Credit @bravo-kernel for his feedback

* Fix another typo

* Reword copyright
