license documentation

• add CC BY licence
• add version

[dericed]

Noting that this change would require an okay from all contributors represented in the code. Also why CC-BY? It seems overly restrictive to apply in this case. MIT license?

[retokromer]

I will change to MIT as soon as I’m again on a normal computer.

[privatezero]

I support MIT or BSD 3 Clause!! But consider this me signing off on whatever!

[retokromer]

The reason why I don't like MIT is that it's not multilingual, and therefore an exclusive licence. On the contrary, the different CC are a good examples of inclusion. Yet, as said, I'll change to MIT.

[retokromer]

Sorry, I could not figure out quickly how to integrate the licence in this PR, therefore I made a separate commit.

I updated the PR to add the MIT license to this repo.
