#32038: tor-browser-build license is unclear

------------------------+------------------------------------------
Currently, the `tor-browser-build` repo doesn't include a `LICENSE` or
`COPYING` file, and AFAICT none of the accompanying documentation
specifies a license either. This is problematic, since an unspecified
license is legally equivalent to a non-free "All Rights Reserved" license,
which I assume isn't The Tor Project's intent. Can a `LICENSE` or
`COPYING` file be added to the root of the `tor-browser-build` repo, so
that users and potential contributors don't have to worry that they may be
inadvertently violating the unclear license?
