license file

Hey @zwegner this looks really interesting. Would you mind clarifying the license of the validator? I didn't see any mention of this. Or better yet add a LICENSE file to the project?

Thanks! The validator (z_validate.c) is under the MIT license, which is in the source code, but I haven't added a separate license file yet.

I was deliberately punting on the issue of choosing a license for everything else (namely, the test suite). Generally, I prefer the GPL for most software projects, but for something like this, where it's a small utility that's more or less "done", I'm fine with a more liberal license. I had wanted to keep the option open of using a different license for the tests, but the test script is small enough that I'm not too concerned with it. If anybody really cares about the test suite, let me know.
