Add a licence and a licence-file #5

Closed tomthe closed 1 year ago

We should decide which open-source software license we should apply to the package.

If possible, it should be compatible with the license of "old" socsim.

Question 1: what license had the old socsim?

Question 2: which license should we use? I vote for GPL. Have a look here: https://choosealicense.com/ Any other suggestions?

I couldn't find a license on https://lab.demog.berkeley.edu/socsim/ or in Socsim Oversimplified.

I asked Carl Mason and he was fine with adding a GPL like license to all the source code.

I will add a license file soon

added a LICENCE.md file with the GPL v3 in commit a2907fddad474a5cf5014f0aae12cd1efd9598f7
