Add OSS licence about permit-reflect HOT 6 CLOSED

it's MIT licensed (from the README)

from permit-reflect.

You are right, realised too late. However an explicit COPYING file in the project root is the proper way to declare it. just my 2 cents.

i hate cluttering up the toplevel directory but you're probably right - people shouldn't have to hunt for that info. i think a License file is the convention i've seen most. i'll ad per-file headers too. thanks for noting the lack of clarity

It's not a convention, it's mandate by the license itself.

i'm pretty sure neither of us are lawyers, so lets not get into the subtleties of this stuff

as an added bonus, in the process of adding the license file, i realized why github was failing to detect the license for a different project and fixed that too - so two birds with one stone !
