[slf4j-dev] license

[Ceki Gülcü]

Hello Asi,

The SLF4J license is based on the X11 license which happens to be one of 
the most liberal, i.e. permissive, licenses around.

When we say that the SLF4J license is compatible with the GPL or the Apache 
licenses, we do not mean it as an exhaustive list. The SLF4J licence is 
compatible with all the licences we can think of, commercial or otherwise.

More in line.
