Add LICENSE file with CC-BY 4.0 license text

[7patricia]

This PR adds a LICENSE file with CC-BY 4.0 license text and adds the CC-BY 4.0 badge to the README file.

The MIT license is intended for software. Usually documentation-only repositories like this one tend to use licenses more appropriate for prose. I'd recommend CC-BY 4.0 instead, as it closely mimics the properties of MIT:

CC-BY 4.0 License

Make this a Markdown file (by adding the .md extension) so that the text is rendered properly, including making the link clickable, as seen above.

You may also add the badge to the README in this PR, with the following code:

[![Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license][license-badge-image]](license-badge-link)

[license-badge-image]: https://i.creativecommons.org/l/by/4.0/80x15.png

I've added a note in our internal board to discuss this with the team so we can standardize copyright notices across all our repos. But sure, no opposition to do that here.

[waldyrious]

After offline disussion with @ruimarinho and @fixe, we agreed that CC-BY-NC may be more appropriate. Please make the relevant changes in this file and in the README.
