License file missing

[swedebugia]

Hi Thanks a lot for making this! Could you add a license file?

I second this. Without a license the code cannot be used legally. There are many licenses that may fit your needs both for commercial use(MIT, Apache) and for open source use only(GNU GPLv3, Mozilla Public). More information: https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/

@HappyGlitch if you could share what your intent is that would be great.

The code can be "used" in the sense that it's public to read, use privately, and contribute to, but if you want to redistribute it then there is currently no license for that. I would consider some options if I get an idea of what people might want to do with it, otherwise I don't know enough about the future of the project to make that decision right now.

@leafo I want to try contributing. I have an idea to add MIDI over low energy bluetooth like in this project: https://github.com/BLE-MIDI/WebMIDI

The github page on contributing (https://opensource.guide/how-to-contribute/#finding-a-project-to-contribute-to) explicitly says to avoid repositories with no license. GNU GPNv3 seems to match your description in that it allows private use and contribution. It allows redistribution though, as long as it is open sourced under the same license (but don't qoute me on this I'm not a lawyer).
