There are actually a few reasons I chose the MIT license:

1) It's one of the most permissive licenses around.

2) I originally had plans to extend backrest to other database systems.  Nearly two years into development I don't
thinkthat sounds like a 
 
great idea anymore but it was the original plan.

3) It's common for GitHub projects and backrest has lived there its 
entire life.

I'm not against a license change in theory though I can't see why it 
matters very much.
