Please add an explicit LICENSE file (icons appear to be Public Domain) #28

Description

Hi, and thanks for maintaining these INT-1 / IALA seamark presets and icons — they're a great reference.

I'd like to reuse a handful of the SVG symbols in an open-source project, and I want to be sure I attribute/license them correctly. The individual SVGs embed a Creative Commons Public Domain dedication in their RDF metadata:

<cc:license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/"/>

and the MapCSS styles are titled "PD" (e.g. "INT 1 Rendering (IHO standardized symbols) PD"). That strongly suggests the whole set is intended to be Public Domain.

However, for information, the repository has no top-level LICENSE file, so by GitHub's defaults it's technically "all rights reserved." A number of SVGs (around 70, e.g. D21.svg and the Q126/PPWBC/ and Q126/BNIWR/ sets) are also missing the per-file dedication, which leaves their status ambiguous. Would you be willing to add an explicit LICENSE (e.g. CC0-1.0) at the repo root? That would cover the whole set unambiguously, including those files.

Thanks!
