Hi Mirco,
Thanks for making this tool available. Can you please add some license perhaps MIT license that can allow me to use this repo for some non-academic projects?

One thing I'd request as someone who's contributed to this code is to either use a strong copy-left or the MPLv2 license. I'd explicitly like to avoid MIT license since the MIT license is a community hostile license. Specifically the MIT license does not handle the issues due to patents in an unambiguous way across jurisdictions and opens up nasty potentials for patent issues.

I have expanded on my thoughts about the issues with the MIT license here: https://www.lesinskis.com/MIT-licence-community-hostile.html
