Good question, I'm slowly trying to run through some rust packages
(mostly in crates-io.scm) with the intent of upgrading nu-shell
(currently quite out of date to the extent that most online
documenation is now dubious with new features added and a lot of
commands removed or changed). While adding and upgrading packages, I
ran across the rust package `pwd` (https://crates.io/crates/pwd/1.4.0)
which uses this license.

There is a slim chance the author might be willing to update the
package to a dual license, but it seemed like adding this would still
be useful for completeness sake (and in the case that they aren't able
to be reached easily).

V/R,

Aaron
