A lot of people just forget to put up a license. I file a polite bug with the project, and they generally fix it within a day or so.
- superalloy 15y agoThat’s what makes it so annoying, though, the fact that we _know_ they probably meant to share it as free software. My point goes further than people forgetting to add a license, though. Some people think that just adding it as an open repo to GitHub is enough, which, depending on the country, it clearly isn’t. In my opinion, GitHub should educate people a bit more about this. A simple feature like this could just be enough.
