vscodium-overpassql-syntax's Issues

Consider changing license

First, thanks for creating this VS Code extension, and thanks for using the *.overpassql file extension!

I'm currently on a mission to enable syntax highlighting for *.overpassql files on GitHub (see github-linguist/linguist#5890).
Two prerequisites are still missing:

1. The *.overpassql file extension needs to be used in at least 200 repositories. I've suggested renaming in many repositories containing Overpass QL files with other file extensions, and many have already done so. Currently, *.overpassql files are used in 172 repositories (making *.overpassql clearly the most used file extension for Overpass QL files on GitHub), and I'm working on pushing that over the finish line.
2. A syntax highlighting grammar needs to be available in a compatible license. Unfortunately, the currently used Artistic License is not compatible. Would you consider (re-)releasing this repo's source code under one of those licenses? You can compare them e.g. on TLDRLegal.

FYI: There is also another project aiming to provide syntax highlighting for Overpass QL files to VS Code, but that project seems to be abandoned, was never released as an extension, and also has no license: https://github.com/Teiron/OverpassQL.tmLanguage
But maybe it is interesting to see syntax highlighting differences to your project.
