There is no license specified for the files in this repository. Are they intended to be public domain / CC0 / BSD / Apache?

I'm pretty sure that it is supposed to be under a "two-clause BSD license" -- but will have to wait for @enjoy-digital to confirm.

@enjoy-digital Per IRC chat, any chance we could get a simpler alternate license (e.g. CC0 / public domain) added to some of the base files that are effectively needed to start a new LiteX firmware design?

Specifically thinking of Makefile, main.c, isr.c, linker.ld in e.g. lab004/firmware -- there's nothing magic about those files, in fact main.c has a lot of basic string handling code that could be copy/paste replaced with public domain examples, but the lack of good documentation on LiteX internal generated files will make the Makefile in particular irritating to recreate (thus leading to a lot of bad Makefile variants as people hardcode compilers and paths into their new versions).
