Add License information #152

Hi,
great project.
Everywhere on the website and in press coverage it is stated that the project is open source and open hardware, but i searched a while and only found a link with information about the hardware license, nothing about the software.
It would be great if the licence file could be added to the repository and the Licence could be mentioned in the Readme too.
The repository is most times the first place where technical people look for the license.
That way the licensing is more transparent and easy to find.
Thanks!

There should be LICENSE files in the corresponding software or hardware directory as those are not the same licenses (typically LGPL v2.1 for all software and CERN OHL v.1.1 for all hardware. So for example for the ESP32 Ethernet Brick:
https://github.com/Tinkerforge/esp32-ethernet-brick/blob/master/hardware/LICENSE.txt
https://github.com/Tinkerforge/esp32-firmware/blob/master/software/LICENSE

Unfortunately in the case of the WARP Charger the project files are distributed over several repositories. I'll have a look to make sure that this is consistent and complete.
