Adding a license to this repo

[carrieeex]

Dear @evansavage @emilyhopkins @carrieeex @fujinaga @vigliensoni @deepio

As per SSHRC’s guidelines on open data and the contracts signed by DDMAL employees, all of our software is open source. However, not all of our GitHub repos currently have licensing information.

Effective now, we would like to change the license of this repository to the MIT License (currently, it doesn't have any), which is summarized below:
