Release MethodFinder under the Eclipse Public License

I am extremely interested in using portions of MethodFinder in the development of JUnit 5.

I would therefore be very grateful if you could release at least the source code for MethodFinder under the Eclipse Public License -v 1.0.

Great work by the way, and...

Thanks in advance!

Provide LICENSE.txt

Hello,

tl:dr; Can you please provide an Apache License v2 compatible LICENSE.txt for this repository? I'd like to use (parts) of this code in the Apache Commons BeanUtils2 library.

Long Version: I'm working on the Apache Commons BeanUtils2 project - a rewrite of the Apache Commons BeanUtils library. BeanUtils2 provides a fluent API for reflection operations:

import static org.apache.commons.beanutils2.BeanUtils.on
...
on(myBean).set("name").with("Peter");

Currently I'm working on an API that let's users configure type conversion in a fluent way:

import static org.apache.commons.beanutils2.ConverterBuilder.from;
...
BeanUtils.newInstance()
   .withConverters(
      from(String.class).to(Integer.class).using(Integer::parseInt),
      from(String.class).to(Date.class).using(myCustomDateFormatter)
   ).build();

Further more it is possible to assign properties to a bean using a map:

Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>();
properties.put("name", "peter");
properties.put("age", 48);

on(myBean).populate(properties);

When we implement a MapToBeanConverter, and combine it with the code in this repository, can can put this all together as:

on(myBean).set("address").with(
   map(
      "street" -> "Broadway 5",
      "zip" -> 10002,
      "city" -> "New York"
   )
);

And that would be pretty awesome :-) To reuse any of your code, it would have to be under Apache License v2. We would of corse give you credit for this contribution. Further more, if you're interested to join development on BeanUtils2, just ping me.

Thank you very much!
