Missing LICENSE

[jwflory]

First, the standard disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, and this does not constitute legal or financial advice.

Generally, it is a good idea to use FSF or OSI-approved licenses (which can be found here and here). Once you have chosen a license, you should place it in the root directory of your repository in a file named LICENSE.

The Free Software Foundation has a useful guide for choosing a license. I often reference the Software Freedom Law Center's Legal Primer for both practical and academic purposes (highly recommended). tldrlegal.com is a useful resource for comparing the various FOSS licenses out there once you have some context and background to what they mean.

To get a hold of actual lawyers and advisors who help FOSS projects, you could reach out to the FSF, SFLC, and OSI at:
