Ambiguous license #14

The license information for Creole is a little confusing. The "LICENSE" section of the README says:

Creole is Copyright (c) 2008 - 2013 Lars Christensen, Daniel Mendler. It is free software, and may be redistributed under the terms specified in the README file of the Ruby distribution.

I think this is meant to refer to the README file of the Ruby programming language, but there is no license in the Ruby README -- it points to the Ruby COPYING file. The Creole LICENSE file contains a near-identical copy of the Ruby license, but it's missing the corresponding BSDL file that is referenced to in the LICENSE file.

I suggest adding the BSDL license file to the repo and changing the license statement in the README to point to the LICENSE file.

Thanks for your consideration!
