To help with #143 (LICENSE.md)

[jeff-hykin]

Looks like I'm not the only one who would really like to use/extend this code. Any license would be appreciated, I just made a PR for MIT since its common for nix.

Thank you.

Is the licence forced to be "me" attributed (in that case, it is weird, but it should be Guillaume Bouchard, there as an e, even if my main email account does not have the e, that's maybe because there are something like a million 'Guillaume Bouchard" on the huge globe ;)

Otherwise, maybe we can just change the copyright to nix community?

Considering that I'm not maintaining nixGL and that I've transferred the account under nix-community.

I'll merge this asap once it this detail is clarified. beause looks like it is important, see https://github.com/orgs/nix-community/discussions/882#discussioncomment-10849248

Following the nixpkgs standard, maybe something like:
Copyright (c) Guillaume Bouchard and the nix-community/nixGL contributors
would be good.

Its not the best but would follow what is the current precedent.

Should put all current contributors as reviewers for the PR, so explicit permission to re-license the project to MIT can be done. There's a list of them at https://github.com/nix-community/nixGL/graphs/contributors

There's some information about how to re-license a project here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_relicensing. There is also such a thing as uncopyrightable changes, which is in handwavey terms is when they contain no creative expression, which may be helpful with some changes.

This is not legal advice, so do not rely on what i have said here as final or correct.

Thank you @soupglasses.

Unfortunately, all of this is way above my mental capacity right now.

I'll document myself and try to find a bit of time to handle all of that.
