License details missing

[jamesbursa]

I can't find any details of the license for this repository. Is it open source and can a license be added please? https://help.github.com/articles/licensing-a-repository/

Here is a one possibility as a patch which adds an MIT license. Based on the git log, it would need agreement from @alexkendall, @thibmaek, and @iotashan. Thanks for considering it!

@jamesbursa I think we can go ahead and do this, but we will have to somehow add @virl

@alexkendall Hello. As I understand, this is license for the bindings, not for the native library. So I guess because I haven't wrote code for the bindings yet, there is no need to add me currently.

But because native library is separate commercial product, I think it will be good for the users to know that when reading your license or readme (so they will not confuse terms for the bindings and for underlying library).
