License label

[josephlord]

Renames the license file to MIT_LICENSE and adds title to the the contents of the file to make clear at a glance that it is MIT licensed. I couldn't spot any changes to the content of the license.

Obviously feel free to reject this or request that I remove these changes from GitHub as it is your license.

FWIW, the convention on GitHub (from everything I've seen) is have a LICENSE file, with some reference to a project's licensing terms in the README.

I think its flexible although completely up to you. I've certainly seen
MIT_LICENSE in other projects:
https://github.com/sandro/specjour
https://github.com/jquery/jquery

My Pull request included two separate commits, one for the filename
change and one to put the title back into the file. You are welcome to
either or both.

You made the Hacker News frontpage for a while btw:

Definitely agreed that the license should be more visible. I've added a reference to it in the README, as it should've been there previously. Thanks for spotting this ambiguity, @josephlord!
