Add Server-Side Public License (SSPL) #932

@vhscom, this license is not osi nor fsf approved. For open source network services I recommend the AGPL which is FSF approved. Read the contributing guidelines. |
Thanks for considering the inclusion of the SSPL license. While it may not conform to the OSI or FSF definitions of "approved" licenses its intention is to protect users from gaps in AGPL. Sometimes it's necessary to break the mold in order to improve the future. |

I second @vhscom and @JasonGoldman for supporting add SSPL to GitHub's License list. My reasons is:
I will use SSPL for my Chatie.IO projects later, and I'd love to select the SSPL from the GitHub list, instead of creating them manually. |
