I didn't see a license file. Did I miss it?

I wasn't sure which one to use. Do you have a suggestion for a specific license to use?

Judging from the fact that you didn't include one, I'm guessing you don't have a super strong opinion about software licensing. Therefore, I'd recommend for simplicity -- the MIT License:

Yeah, I was leaning towards that one too. It kind of concerns me that people can profit off of my work, but as long as I receive some credit then I'll feel alright about it. Hopefully the use of the MIT license will let others feel more interested in contributing to the project in whatever way and better things can emerge from that!
