Copy link

Many places will not even consider using modules that do not include a clear & easy to find license and the standard practice is to have a file in the root directory of the project called either LICENSE or COPYING.

Ideally you would have a permissive license such as MIT, etc., but without such a file it is impossible to tell what your intended license conditions are. Many companies are reluctant to use GPL/LGPL code but some packages are dual licensed.

Ideally also including a brief license statement in the Docs (ideally near to the start of the first page).
