Unclear LICENSE #6

Description

I was unable to find a LICENSE file at the root or in the sub project folders. I would appreciate it if the license terms for this code were clarified in a standard LICENSE file 😜

Quote from https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/

No License

When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you.

tldr nobody can use the code without you giving them permission via a LICENSE of some kind 🤷‍♂️ and right now there is no clear LICENSE 😭

    Agreed. As far as I can tell licensing in Open Source is important

    there is a little mention in the website (also in the demo video he mentioned is open source project) but nothing beyond that and yess it would be nice to clearify this is a open source project

    As far as I know there are still different approaches to open source, how users are allowed to reuse the code, what they can and cant do with it and also, what the maintainer is liable for, so in that way it can still make a difference what specific type of license the project is using, but I am not that into licensing, so please anyone correct me if Im wrong.

    A BSD or MIT License could do the trick but eventually, it is up to the repo owner to choose.

    @MorganDilling

    Bumping this, we legally cannot contribute or use this code without explicit permission in the form of a LICENSE file. As @Siddhesh-Agarwal mentioned, MIT would be perfectly appropriate for this but consider others. Pretty important issue @joschan21.

    We would use and contribute but there's no license so I am not risking it. When do this become abandonware?
