Relicensing to MIT/BSD? #52

My apologies if this is a rude question to ask, but I wonder if it is possible to change the license of the repository from LGPL 3.0 to more permissive licenses like MIT or BSD.

As demonstrated by some previous issues and forks of the project, Plankton is extremely useful for game development, and many intend to use it with Unity, including me. However, it seems that Unity and some game publishers do not allow the use of LGPL-licensed libraries in assets or games (See here). Compiling games to certain platforms such as iOS also makes complying with LGPL nearly impossible, in particular clause 4d. Relicensing the repo under permissive licenses would make it easier for game developers to use the repo in their projects, and I believe it does not sabotage the original intention of licensing the repo under LGPL stated in the README.
