Hi, I'd like to request adding a license file to this repo. Right now most files have a header that says the license is MIT, and the README says MIT/X11, but there are also files without license headers (e.g. keigen.c) and just a sentence in the README isn't really enough.

Also, GitHub's license detection will say that Klib as a whole does not have a license: https://github.com/attractivechaos/klib/community

I'm happy to open a PR if that would help.

Was just about to raise exactly this issue... The link to the explanation of what the MIT/X11 license is is not enough. Plus the linked article describes a number of variant MIT and X11 licenses - which doesn't provide any clarity at all

Related to this, why are there no recent 'Releases'? My company is using Blackduck software and it is matching against klib-spawn-final release, even though I downloaded a recent Master branch which is much newer. It would be better to have periodic releases with clear klib wide version numbers, so that we can be clear that our product is making use of klib version x.y.

@attractivechaos Was it your intent to leave the copyright year as '2008- ' without specifying a more recent year?
