Add LICENSE.md to Define Project Licensing

Description

Create a LICENSE.md file that clearly defines how the project's source code may be used, modified, and distributed. Review licenses commonly used by open-source repositories and select the appropriate license for the project based on its intended use and distribution.

Some resources and repos to look into:
https://github.com/github/docs/blob/main/content/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository.md
https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository?cmdf=github+add+license

Review the two linked GitHub licensing resources first, then inspect the repository's intended use and distribution context. Choose an appropriate license with maintainer agreement and add LICENSE.md stating how the project's source may be used, modified, and distributed.
