Add license

This isn't really necessary, but it would be good to add a license to this project. The basic options are

MIT - Do whatever you want with the code (VSCode's license)
2/3 Clause BSD - Code must be redistributed with BSD license in tow, but can basically be used in whatever (CMake's license)
AGPL 3.0 - Anyone using this code must also freely give out their code, plus if you're running this on a server, that server has to provide this code (Canvas's license)
