lurch is GPL3. Is carbons too?

Dupe of #10 and #35, but it would be good to add a LICENSE file so GitHub finds it.

GPL2+ it is.

Sounds like a good idea. Do you happen to know if a plugin for a GPL2 lib like libpurple also needs to be GPL?

Since it links to a GPL library, it needs to be a GPL-compatible license http://gplv3.fsf.org/wiki/index.php/Compatible_licenses#GPLv2-compatible_licenses

Good to know, thanks! Probably can't change the license now since there's other contributors, but Ill try to find out if that's actually true.

You've already mentioned that you're going for a gpl2+ licence in your headers? That's compatible :)
Just needs the license file to match

Very important.

@Neustradamus it's already in the dev branch.

@gkdr: Thanks :)
