Research direction

Create a root-level LICENSE file using the recommended MIT license text. First confirm the correct copyright holder and year from the repository metadata, then verify the license text is complete and unmodified. Done means the LICENSE file is present with accurate attribution and the stated acceptance criteria are satisfied.

Description

documentation good first issue

Summary

Add a LICENSE file to this repository to clarify the terms under which the code can be used, modified, and distributed.

Motivation

Without a LICENSE file, the code is under exclusive copyright by default, which means others cannot legally use, modify, or distribute it. Adding a license makes the project truly open source and encourages contributions.

Acceptance Criteria

  • Add a LICENSE file (MIT recommended for permissive open source)
  • License text is complete and unmodified
  • Copyright holder and year are correct

Additional Context

The MIT license is recommended for maximum permissiveness and compatibility with other open-source projects.
