Based on https://github.com/Agile86/kaitai_rust/tree/rust_basic_support_v2 (permalink: Agile86 / kaitai_rust > a47ab47). It brings the entire unchanged commit history into the repo (including commit hashes, so they're the same as in the original repos Agile86/kaitai_rust and bspeice/kaitai_rust), which reveals that the commits were authored by @bspeice, @Agile86 and @revitalyr (according to Git).

First of all, we need to solve one problem - no LICENSE file in the repo. As explained at https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/:

When you make a creative work (which includes code), the work is under exclusive copyright by default. Unless you include a license that specifies otherwise, nobody else can copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation. Once the work has other contributors (each a copyright holder), “nobody” starts including you.

Therefore, it is desirable to choose a license. If you're mentioned, please comment whether is it OK to release your changes under the MIT license.

@bspeice, I assume you own the code in your https://github.com/bspeice/kaitai_rust repo, so your consent with the proposed MIT license should be enough. @Agile86 and @revitalyr, please check with your employer whether they agree with releasing your work in https://github.com/Agile86/kaitai_rust/tree/rust_basic_support_v2 under MIT.
