Currently, there is no license specified with this project. The github ToS gives us the right to view and fork your repo, but aside from that things fall back to the Berne Convention, namely that you, as the author, are automatically assigned copyright (and haven't granted anyone else permission). That is, without an explicit license, legally the rest of us can do very little with your code, particularly in a corporate environment.

The good news is that since you're the only author, it's very easy for you to fix this - you can just assign a license now. If you don't already have one in mind, http://choosealicense.com/ and https://tldrlegal.com/ will probably be helpful in choosing one, and I would be glad to answer any questions that I can as well.

Hey there, as you have probably noticed I haven't done much any work on this in a while. Is there any particular reason you want to see a licence added and a package created from this?

Hi Thomas, I second OP. Could you please add a license? I don't care much whether you make it publicly available in pypi as a package or not. Sure, your code is open source and not being actively worked on, but adding a license isn't going to harm that in anyway. It'll just make it more clear as as to what others can do with your code.
