Add a license

[KirstieJane]

Hi Pycon team!

I really love the code of conduct and I was wondering if you'd allow other organisations to re-use this work? Maybe under a CC-BY license?

I'd be happy to add the license via a pull request if that sounds good 😄

Thank you!!

@ewdurbin Should we also add the license text to the repo?

I'd have thought you'd be best off linking to the Creatve Commons original rather than including the text.

Thank you @sagesharp - that’s great to know.

I found the code of conduct not by going through the page you linked to, so I guess I’d have found a sentence in the README linking to the license really useful.

If you add the license text to a file called LICENCE then it pops up at the top of the repo which is also where I’d been looking for the information.

Happy to add via a pull request if either options sound useful. But I understand if you’d prefer not to! My question is happily answered! ✨✨✨

@KirstieJane a Pull Request adding the License text would be welcome! Specifically to allow for it to be recognized by GitHub.

Thank you for pointing this out!
