Possibility to publish a derivative work under MIT?

[sam-19]

Hey!

First off, thank you for your great work! Years ago I implemented this amazing library into one of my private projects. Over time I have made considerable changes to it, including many extensions and a conversion to TypeScript. I suspect that quite little of the original source code remains at this point, but it has served as a basis and inspiration to my project nonetheless. Being a private project it is rather messy, but if I found some time to polish it, I could imagine publishing it for others to use.

I personally consider GPL3 a bit of a problematic license (a "viral" license if you will) and would not like to use it. Seeing as the project is not dual licensed, I have to ask if I could have your explicit permission to publish my derivative work under the MIT license?

Best regards,
Sam
