Thank you for publishing great codes.
Could you provide the license file like in this repo?

Thank you in advice.

Hi @shirayu -- Thank you for your interest in our work. The code is available for public use, please use it freely.

Thank you for the reply.
I am sorry to bother you, but it is very helpful to have an explicit license file.
When you are free, please consider this.
Thank you.

Hi @shirayu -- It would be great if you could advise me why the license file is important. Many thanks!

Hi, that is because the use of well-known licenses and explicit licensing make it easier for many people to avoid legal risks and to improve and share them more easily.

This is the description about licensing by GitHub.

https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository

If you're creating an open source project, we strongly encourage you to include an open source license.

This is another description by Open Source Guides that is linked from the description by GitHub.

I hope these descriptions help you.
Thank you!

Thank you for your suggestions! I think we can add the MIT license to our repo.
