Add a License about gfatools HOT 4 OPEN

+1, both on the thank you and the request to license the code. As it stands gfatools is not free software so can't be part of GPLv3 licensed code.

Hi @zwets.

@natir didn't ask about licensing the code, but rather that you clarify what license gfatools is released under. Not having one can cause confusion.

I see parts of it is under the MIT license (for instance khashl.h), but other source files do not have a license listed. MIT is free software as far as I understand (it is more permissive than GPLv3 and can be included in GPLv3 projects). I see that both you and @lh3 have projects released under both MIT and GPLv3.

You can of course choose whichever license you feel would suit the project, but it would be nice if you created a LICENSE file and put into it explicitly which license the project is under. Without a license none can reproduce, distribute, or create derivative work from this without explicit permission from you for each project (fork). See https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository#choosing-the-right-license.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Ole

Hi @Tierhon, I think your message was intended for @lh3. He is the author of gfatools, I just cloned the repo to submit some minor patches (in PR #18). My "+1 both on the thank you and the request to license the code" was for @lh3, not a reply to the OP. Cheers Marco

@zwets, ah, I see. Sorry for the misattribution of the comment. You agree with OP, and I agree with you then.
