What's the license on this Code?

Hi there, I was wondering how this code is licensed. There seems to be absolutely no information neither in this repo nor the marketplace page. This makes it very hard to consume in corporate environments.

Everything under https://github.com/testforstephen/vscode-pde/tree/master/pde/org.eclipse.jdt.ls.importer.pde/src/org/eclipse/jdt/ls/importer/pde/internal would be EPL (1.0 / 2.0), so either that, or something that is compatible with it for things like https://github.com/testforstephen/vscode-pde/blob/master/src/extension.ts .

Update: Looking at things like https://github.com/testforstephen/vscode-pde/blob/master/pde/org.eclipse.jdt.ls.importer.pde/src/org/eclipse/jdt/ls/importer/pde/internal/PDEDelegateCommandHandler.java , even @testforstephen has made some efforts to keep it as EPL so I would think that applies to other files as well.

That is correct for the source files you mention, but there are source files without license and there is no license for the whole repository. Also: there is no license mentioned on the marketplace, which in some cases is different from the source code license (see ms-vscode.cpptools).

@testforstephen any chance you could give this project a proper OSS licence?
