LICENSE File is missing

[ranwitter]

Automated SCA Tools (such a Blackduck) and Code Repositories (such a GitHub) can not identify;

• Permissions (Commercial use, Modification, Distribution, Patent use, Private use)
• Limitations (Liability,Trademark use,Warranty)
• Conditions (License and copyright notice, State changes)

of Using this Module without including a LICENSE File in residing within the Code Basis.

[pmqs]

What are the implications of not having a LICENSE file? Do these tools then disallow the use of my code?

[ranwitter]

As a software developer we are obliged to submit a Software Bill of Materials to our Legal Department. We use SCA Tools to automate License Detection for all the FOSS Components. Having a License published together with the Code Basis will allow us to detect the LICENSE File and also keep using IO::Compress Module as a FOSS Perl Module further without any restrictions.

Thanks in Advance !
