Right now, near the bottom of LICENSE.md, the copyright attribution was never updated beyond placeholder values. It currently reads Copyright [yyyy] [name of copyright owner].

This is a tiny bit of an issue for those that may want to copy files from SchemaStore to include in their own distributed projects. The proper protocol generally seems to include the license for the file you're copying directly into your project.

In my case, I want to have a schemastore folder in my project, which I will copy the package.json schema into. I would additionally include a README.md explaining the origin and license of all the files in that folder, along with copying the SchemaStore LICENSE.md directly into the folder.

I can send a PR if needed; I just didn't know who to attribute as the copyright owner or if there are multiple owners.

I was thinking updating it to the following would work:

Copyright Mads Kristensen and SchemaStore contributors.
