Add LICENSE

I don't think we should merge this because the repository is a template, and the file will be included in rejects created from this template, which are likely not MIT-licensed.

Hi Kévin,

Thanks for the reply. I am in no way a lawyer, but as far as I am informed, the problem with repositories that don't make licenses explicitly available, including only a partial mention in the README file, without actual permission-notice, as in the current case, means that any user who gets the code is effectively violating the terms.

"You're under no obligation to choose a license. However, without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work."

Another potential issue, which I just noticed now, is that Symfony creates its own LICENSE, which will overwrite this file if it's placed within root.

Br,

According to https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository#determining-the-location-of-your-license, a mention in the README is good enough, even if having a LICENSE file is a best practice.

Thanks
