Release Notice: Important License Update for pxblat

Dear Users and Contributors,

We hope this message finds you well. We are reaching out to inform you of a significant update regarding the licensing terms of pxblat, a Python library that you have been using or contributing to. This change is crucial for the continued growth and sustainability of our project, and we believe it aligns more closely with our community's values and expectations.

Introduction of the New License:

pxblat is modified from blat, the license is the same as blat. 
The source code and ecutables are freely available for academic, nonprofit, and personal use. 
Commercial licensing information is available on the Kent Informatics website (https://kentinformatics.com/).

Effective as of 10/23/2023, all future releases of pxblat will be distributed under the terms of the new license. The adoption of this new license is a strategic decision aimed at respecting the license of blat.

Application to Previous Versions

To maintain consistency and transparency within our community, we have decided to retrospectively apply the new license to all previous versions of pxblat dating back to v0.0.1.

How Does This Affect You?

For Existing Users on Conda and PyPI: The license change affects all versions of pxblat, including those you have installed via Conda or PyPI. Please take a moment to review the new license terms to ensure your continued compliance with the software's usage terms.

For Contributors: We value and appreciate every contribution made to pxblat. Please be aware that this license change also applies retrospectively to past contributions. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, do not hesitate to reach out to us.

For New Users: Whether you are installing pxblat via Conda or PyPI, all versions are now available under the terms of the new license. We welcome you to our community and encourage you to explore the library under these updated terms.
