Hello @cg-cnu , I'm beginner and I would like to contribute for my first time. Are you asking to create LICENSE file with MIT license ?

Yes, you need to create a file with the name LICENSE at the root of the project(not LICENCE, to maintain consistency with other projects) and the contents you can get it from here
