Use more conventional MIT license form (#17)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* Use more conventional MIT form

I had steered the author of this towards
https://github.com/intel352/vagrant-shell-scripts/blob/master/LICENSE.md

but it is formatted unconventionally and the license detector
GitHub uses does not identify it properly.

Instead, use a version derived directly from the text in

https://opensource.org/license/mit

* Tweak copyright year

I like the instructions in https://stackoverflow.com/a/2391555/424301 and
think the advice is sound
