This text historically was copied verbatim from rust-lang/rust's own README [1]
with the intention of licensing projects the same as rustc's own license, namely
a dual MIT/Apache-2.0 license. The clause about "various BSD-like licenses"
isn't actually correct for almost all projects other than rust-lang/rust and
the wording around "both" was slightly ambiguous.
This commit updates the wording to match more precisely what's in the
standard library [2], namely clarifying that there aren't any BSD-like licenses
in this repository and that the source is licensable under either license, at
your own discretion.

Replace the sequential counting (which might be exhausted) by an address
of an object (in a box, so it doesn't change). This is also a unique, so
it is acceptable ID.
Run multiple loops (both in parallel and sequentially) to make sure
broadcasting to multiple of them works and we work even after the
initial loop has gone away.
Add the driver task, connecting the signal handler wakeups to the
wakeups of of the streams.
It is a prototype-quality code, a lot of cleanups and similar is needed.
Which is just a wrapper around the futures::sync::mpsc. The sender is in
a global registry.
The part that connects the wakeups to the senders in the registry
doesn't yet exist.
Register the signal handler that wakes up someone through a self-pipe.
That someone doesn't yet exist, though.
Some dependencies (nix, lazy_static) added to speed up the prototyping
process. They are likely to be dropped in some future commits.
Some features (eg. preserving the previous signal handlers) are still
missing.
