Nice work! I was looking for a phenotype simulator that can generate both case/controls and quantitative traits against a real genomic dataset like 1000 genomes. Googling it I came across this repository. There's any reason you're not using a standard open-source license, like MIT?

I am using an MIT LICENSE: see the Description file and an explanation for the additional license file from here:

MIT (v. similar: to BSD 2 and 3 clause licenses). This is a simple and permissive license. It lets people use and freely distribute your code subject to only one restriction: the license must always be distributed with the code.

The MIT license is a “template”, so if you use it, you need License: MIT + file LICENSE, and a LICENSE file that looks like this:

YEAR: <Year or years when changes have been made>
COPYRIGHT HOLDER: <Name of the copyright holder>

Ah! cool. Sorry about that. I saw only the file: https://github.com/HannahVMeyer/PhenotypeSimulator/blob/master/LICENSE Thanks! :)
