NOISSUE Change license to MS-PL

This is a free software license, the only practical change is that
when you fork the code and want to keep it open, you have to keep
the license - that is, you have to share the code changes you make
with *EVERYONE*, not just whoever you choose.

+    Copyright 2012-2022 MultiMC Contributors
+
+    This license governs use of the accompanying software. If you use the
+    software, you accept this license. If you do not accept the license,
+    do not use the software.
+
+    1. Definitions
+
+    The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works,"
+    and "distribution" have the same meaning here as under U.S. copyright law.
+
+    A "contribution" is the original software, or any additions or changes to the software.
+
+    A "contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this license.
+
+    "Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly on its contribution.
+
+    2. Grant of Rights
+
+    (A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including
+    the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor
+    grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license
+    to reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution,
+    and distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create.
+
+    (B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including
+    the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor
+    grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its
+    licensed patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import,
+    and/or otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or
+    derivative works of the contribution in the software.
+
+    3. Conditions and Limitations
+
+    (A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to
+    use any contributors' name, logo, or trademarks.
+
+    (B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents
+    that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license
+    from such contributor to the software ends automatically.
+
+    (C) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain
+    all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are
+    present in the software.
+
+    (D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form,
+    you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy
+    of this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion
+    of the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so
+    under a license that complies with this license.
+
+    (E) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it.
+    The contributors give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions.
+    You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which
+    this license cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local
+    laws, the contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability,
+    fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

 Because of the nature of the agreements required to interact with the Microsoft identity platform, it's impossible for us to continue allowing everyone to build the code as 'MultiMC'. The source code has been debranded and now builds as `DevLauncher` by default.
