Please add a license to the repo

[Misha Brukman]

Hi,

Thanks for putting together this collection of NoSQL databases!

Could you please add an explicit LICENSE file to the repo so that it's clear under what terms the content is provided, and under what terms user contributions are licensed?

Per GitHub docs on licensing:

Generally speaking, the absence of a license means that the default copyright laws apply. This means that you retain all rights to your source code and that nobody else may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. This might not be what you intend.

In case it's helpful, choosealicense.com provides a nice overview of several popular open source licenses from which to choose. In this case, since it's not code but documentation, perhaps CC-BY-4.0 is a good choice?

Thanks!
