Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to relicense Pumpkin under the "dual MIT / Apache-2.0 license". This allows users to select either license according to their own preferences. There are Very Good Reasons for this (see down).

1 The MIT license (arguably) requires binaries to reproduce countless copies of the same license boilerplate for every MIT library in use.
2 The Apache-2.0 license has protections from patent trolls and an explicit contribution licensing clause.
3 The Rust ecosystem is largely Apache-2.0. Being available under that license is good for interoperation and opens the doors to upstreaming pupmkin code into other projects.
4 The Apache license is incompatible with GPLv2, but MIT is compatible.

Describe the solution you'd like
