📄 Add LICENSE file to clarify usage rights

[0GiS0]

🔍 Issue

The package.json declares an ISC license:

"license": "ISC"

However, there is no LICENSE file in the repository. This creates ambiguity:

• Potential users/contributors don"t know the exact terms
• GitHub doesn"t recognize the license (no badge in the repo)
• It"s unclear if the code can be used in commercial projects
• Forks and derivatives may not properly attribute the original work

💡 Proposed Solution

Add a LICENSE file at the repository root with the full ISC License text:

LICENSE:

ISC License

Copyright (c) [year] [fullname]

Permission to use, copy, modify, and/or distribute this software for any
purpose with or without fee is hereby granted, provided that the above
copyright notice and this permission notice appear in all copies.

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND THE AUTHOR DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES
WITH REGARD TO THIS SOFTWARE INCLUDING ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR
ANY SPECIAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES
WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM LOSS OF USE, DATA OR PROFITS, WHETHER IN AN
ANACTION OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORTIOUS ACTION, ARISING OUT
OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS SOFTWARE.

Replace [year] with the current year and [fullname] with your name or GitHub username.

🎯 Benefits

• Legal Clarity - Users know exactly what they can and cannot do with the code
• GitHub Recognition - GitHub will display the license badge and in repository insights
• Contribution Confidence - Contributors know the terms under which their contributions are licensed
• Professional Standards - Follows open-source best practices
• Discoverability - GitHub users can filter repositories by license

🔄 Alternative Licenses

If you prefer a different license, consider:

• MIT - Similar to ISC, very permissive (most popular)
• Apache 2.0 - Permissive with patent protection
• GPL v3 - Copyleft license requiring derivatives to be open-source

You can easily add a license using:

gh repo license add ISC

Or via GitHub web UI: Add file → Create new file → Name it "LICENSE" → GitHub will offer license templates.
