It looks like they just upgraded to the latest version of the license
they were previously using; cf: https://github.com/vcr/vcr/pull/813. I
didn't read the license but is it realy a problem? If it is, I know
Olle (the upstream dev), maybe we can talk this out and they can
revert to the previous version of the license.
