    Add text about use of data (Trac: #37)

It probably would be a bit more defensible if at the bottom of every page we had "By using the ASA Database you agree to the ​ASA Database Terms of Use" or somesuch.

Also,

Further, it is inappropriate to use any of the information in the database for commercial or non-MIT purposes without contacting the ASA Executive Board for permission.

...is this to be read as precluding other student groups at other universities from using the DB to find their parallel group without asking us for permission first? That seems unnecessarily strict.
