add license

[ameknite]

Hi, I was checking the add-on and I found it doesn't have a license, I suggest adding a COPYING file to your projects. I suppose that every add-on in blender is GPL3.0 like said in the website: https://www.blender.org/about/license/

The GNU GPL license therefore requires that such scripts (if published) are being shared under a GPL compatible license. 

but I think it will be clear if it was defined in the repository.

Thanks for the contribution, yeah it's GPL 3.0, I thought all blender addons would automatically have GPL 3.0 license. Is the filename usually called COPYING? I'm not familiar with this.

It's normally a LICENSE file but the GNU convention is COPYING.

Add a COPYING file with a copy of the GNU GPL or GNU AGPL.

Blender uses COPYING but have the license in another file. https://projects.blender.org/blender/blender/src/branch/main/COPYING

Ok, I'll try to merge it and see if github actually read the license
