This is not a huge priority, but probably should be done before we make the codebase public.

We should at a minimum add a licence to this software, since it will be open-source. I'd put in a vote to use the MIT licence - it's pretty non-restrictive, which makes it nice for other teams or organizations, but does make sure we aren't liable for the behavior of our software if someone trys to take and use it in some other way ("provided 'as-is'").

Additionally, I think it would be a good idea to add the following header of information to each source file:
