Update LICENSE due to scammer abuse

Browse Source 
Updated the LICENSE to incorporate an attribution clause, and prohibit commercial use. 

This was done in response to a recently discovered abuse of some scammers using both my GitHub and this project in job applications to scam other companies and job applicants, offering to "adapt the project to the needs of their internal tools". 

Previously, this would have been fine. However, with scams spiking recently and myself struggling to find a job, this kind of abuse is, regrettably, something I must limit.
