Create LICENSE

The pkg should bear an actual LICENSE, else vendoring is a bit sketch.

It's already in the Readme. This is bikeshedding.

It isn't. I've checked this with lawyers multiple times. Unfortunately today we still have to include the full license text.

Orrick says it's fine.  It's Big4 clipboard auditors that insist on business theater being "safe" because their checkboxes them so.   If it makes the auditors feel better, I'll drop a link in.

I'll have to bash some heads and get a free lunch out of it.  Just chatted with a gal that specializes in licensing and confirmed with a second source. (I also knew the guy that wrote the Orielly book on it, but sadly he passed away.)  The answer is related to the interpretation of "clear intent."  It could be argued that a couple words in the Readme isn't obvious enough, so just enough overkill to do this once would be boilerplate in the .go's and an MIT-LICENSE file.  (I'll forward this back and see what they say.).  I'll do this when I get in front of terminal for being a grouchy, lazy slob.

Case study won't hear about in any bschool because it contains privileged info: A gigadollar tort suit related to a petrochem co everyone knows hinged on an expert witness intepretation of safety codes meaning of a comma ("and" or "or"). It was "or," the plantiffs wanted "and."
