Add open source license

GitHub put it well here ...

It’s easy to get caught up in code. Sharing your code isn’t everything, though: it’s also important to tell people how they can use that code.

And choosealicense.com explains the ramifications of having no license here ...

... the absence of a license means that default copyright laws apply. This means that you retain all rights to your source code and that nobody else may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work.

Disallowing use of your code might not be what you intend by “no license.” An open-source license allows reuse of your code while maintaining copyright. If your goal is to explicitly opt-out of copyright protections, try a public domain dedication like the Unlicense or CC0. If you want to share your work with others, you must opt into it.

Even in the absence of a license file, you may grant some rights in cases where you publish your source code to a site that requires accepting terms of service. For example, if you publish your source code in a public repository on GitHub, you have accepted the Terms of Service which do allow other GitHub users some rights. Specifically, you allow others to view and fork your repository.

If having no license was by design, then you may close this issue.

Never mind. Found it referenced in FeedEk.jquery.json ... MIT.
