Hi! Really sharp work here; and the license choice appreciated.

Can you please accept an explicit license file addition? I know MIT has been mentioned a couple of times in the readme and on gh-pages, but you know what happens when a project has no straightforward license declaration :)

Please review & merge, should be easy, thanks in advance!

Hi @ulidtko,
I know it's been a long run and silence on this one, but we eventually in the middle of bringing something new.
If you could wait a couple of days, we will release something great and then update the License as well.

Hi @vorillaz, thanks for getting back; can't you just merge this as-is ?

I don't believe the added file will interfere with any of your upcoming work.

Hi @ulidtko it's a bit more complicated so unfortunately we have to close this one.
Let me explain, the library is using logos and branding that are falling under copyright and different licenses.
Furthermore, we need to adjust a few bits and pieces in the code structure and adjust the License to reflect that all the parts evolved (maintainers, future sponsors, contributors etc) are not affiliated with any company, organisation or individual owing the trademarked logos or branding assets.

Thus, the default MIT license would not work. Again, it might be a blocker but I suggest waiting for a few days and we will do a massive clean-up in the repository.

Ah... alright, makes sense!

You probably know it already, but I should mention SPDX — as it does support subparts of a project having varying copyright & licenses.
