Add a LICENSE

[Daniel-Mietchen]

Without clear licensing, the ontology itself has low reusability. Even when the licensing is clear, unnecessary restrictions will reduce reusability as well.

A good choice would be CC0/ Public Domain, which maximizes reusability.

Thanks for the note @Daniel-Mietchen! The group had actually agreed on CC-BY which is mentioned at http://www.obofoundry.org/ontology/duo.html

I'll take 2 actions items:

• reflect this in the GH documentation (this repo)
• ask the group at our next meeting whether they want to revise that decision: @MKonopko can we please add to agenda?

Thanks Melanie. I've added it to our DURI agenda on the 27th.

This is an old thread about CC0 vs. CC-BY which I think really captures the argument: https://github.com/OBOFoundry/OBOFoundry.github.io/issues/285

Forgot to update this. Licence has been added in the OWL file and the GH repo, https://github.com/EBISPOT/DUO/blob/master/LICENSE.md
