Include license in strings

[jakirkham]

One of the nice things about tini is it is so nice to install. Merely download the executable and one is good to go.

However, there is a fair point that the license file should be included to. In order to keep things simple, would it be possible (or even reasonable) to have the license reproduced as a string in the final binary (e.g. visible via strings). This should be pretty easy to do. Just wondering if this would be ok.

@jakirkham I think this makes a lot of sense. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I hadn't realized my license was asking users to redistribute it while my instructions were inviting them not to..!

Can you check #47 (and specifically the one commit in there that adds the license) and let me know whether you feel that would work for you?

For the sake of clarity; the output's going to look like this:

root@784c7c2ea28e:/# tini
tini (version 0.9.0 - git.203835d-dirty)
Usage: tini [OPTIONS] PROGRAM -- [ARGS]

Execute a program under the supervision of a valid init process (tini)

  -h: Show this help message and exit.
  -s: Register as a process subreaper (requires Linux >= 3.4).
  -v: Generate more verbose output. Repeat up to 3 times.
  -g: Send signals to the child's process group.
  -l: Show license and exit.

root@784c7c2ea28e:/# tini -l

This is a nicer proposal then even the one I had in mind. Though this definitely seems like the right way to go. Thanks for coming up with this @krallin.
