Include game license on page and allow filtering by license

Hi, thanks for building this nice library!

I'd like to discover only FLOSS games, and it's unfortunate that many Arduboy games don't have a license. This essentially renders them proprietary, even though the source is available.

It would be much easier if I could see which games are FLOSS right on the front page and filter them by this.

I'd be willing to send a PR with the license added to each game if you want to do this.

Sure thing. Any proposal for displaying the licenses?

alexgleason commented

Maybe something like this?

<p class="license">
    GPL-3.0 <i class="fa fa-balance-scale"></i>
</p>

Sounds good. Go ahead adding the licenses :)

Okay, I'm adding a license key to each .ini file, setting it equal to the relevant SPDX license identifier. For instance:

title=Choplifter
date=2018-02-01T13:00:00Z
author=Simon Holmes (filmote)
description=The classic Choplifter game for the Arduboy!
hex=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/filmote/Choplifter/master/distibutable/Choplifter.hex
license=BSD-3-Clause

I'm skipping the license key entirely for games which don't have one. Let me know if that sounds good.

Sound perfect! I will add the new field soon, thanks a lot
