[WIP] License under MIT license

[patrick96]

As mentioned in #9, this project does not have a license, meaning that technically this fork is not legal. With this PR I want to get the consent of everyone who has contributed code to this repo so far, to relicense this repository and all the code in it under the MIT license (this is the same license used as in polybar). The copyright holder is Jochen Keil (@jotrk), because he started the project and wrote nearly all of the actual code.

To everyone listed below as a contributor, please explicitly consent to the licensing in your reply to this PR, by also mentioning your github username and all the email addresses you used for your contributions to this project.

Sample consent message

Sorry for the delay, I'm unfortunately not very active here anymore these days. But I'm a lot more aware about licenses as it's part of my job, and I'm very happy about the MIT license. It's a good one. :)

I've just copied your LICENSE file :)

@jotrk Great! I have now changed this PR to instead merge your license commit. Thank you very much!

Now we just need consent from @skystrife to merge this!
