Hi,

Just added a LICENSE file (Apache 2.0).

> Q: It looks like could do `curl` on pfs. Is that mean pfs act as basic http server like AWS S3?

Yes!! Pfs has a microservice architecture which means it's made entirely of http servers which communicate with each other and users over RESTful APIs. To your point, this means pfs can be used as a simple webserver for static content via the `/pfs` route.

One of the features we'll be building in the near term is a web interface that users can point their browsers at to check on the status of the cluster and browse data stored in it. This is most likely going to just be implemented by injecting the .html, .css, .js etc files directly in to the file system.
