Adds a license so people can cite and reuse the patterns in talks, courses, and books.

What changes

  • LICENSE: CC BY 4.0 for the patterns and other written content. Anyone can share and adapt them, including commercially, as long as they give credit.
  • LICENSE-CODE: MIT for website/, scripts/, tools/, and the root shell scripts.
  • README.md: a License section and a "How to Cite" section with copy-paste attribution lines.
  • CONTRIBUTE.md: new contributions come under the same licenses.
  • Site footer: GitHub · Contribute · License: content CC BY 4.0, code MIT, with a shorter tagline.

Closes #18
Closes #37
