@microbit-mark @jaustin Is it possible to contact the owners and ask for the right license?

Hello, just saw this so I added the MIT license for https://github.com/jdarling/pxt-pca9685 (pulled request from my forked repository).

I see in the post from Dec 28, 2018 that Sparkfun's Gamerbit does not have the right extension. I'm trying to use this extension in my classroom. Is there a work around? Can I use an older version of the makecode editor to get this hardware working?
Thank you.
