Description

@aclist

This project has no license document attached to it, so it cannot lawfully be extended, redistributed, or used outside of GitHub (see below). Without a license, all rights are inherently reserved by the original author and it comes with no granted rights, so it is functionally a read-only repository as far as GitHub is concerned (we can fork the repository visually but not actually use it). Please consider adding an open-source license (e.g. GPL, MIT) so that this extension can continue to be extended and redistributed in other projects.

You can use this site to simplify the process: https://choosealicense.com/

However, without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. If you're creating an open source project, we strongly encourage you to include an open source license. If you set your pages and repositories to be viewed publicly, you grant each User of GitHub a nonexclusive, worldwide license to use, display, and perform Your Content through the GitHub Service and to reproduce Your Content solely on GitHub as permitted through GitHub's functionality (for example, through forking).
