The repository is missing an open-source license on the code. One could argue that I technically infringed on your copyrights by forking the repo, modifying the code and redistributing those modifications online.

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. Currently, I'm leaning more toward a GPL license, but it will take me some time. There are a lot of licenses out there, so I'm in over my head at the moment. However, I'm open to suggestions. I'm mostly looking for a license that is free to fork, modify, and redistribute but requires contributions back to the original project. That's why I'm leaning toward the GPL license. It would also be nice to restrict commercial use so that LC can continue to generate income to sustain its operating costs.

The entire term of service was generated using an online generator. So, I'll need to figure out how to reword that to be consistent with whatever license I end up deciding to go with.

Because a lot of the code runs on the server, AGPL could also be a good license if you want to ensure someone doesn't just distribute a version of this with their own custom frontend, and thus keep their alternative closed source.
