Hi,

I was wondering whether you would be willing to add a license to this repository. As stated here, without a license, copyright is enforced and I would not technically be allowed to make modifications. Thanks!

Although we are not in USA, I would be a bit careful with licences. RH was originally written by H. Uitenbroek and parts of his code are also used in other codes.

Is MIT the less restrictive?

MIT is very simple, open, and well known; so is what I normally use, although I believe that some license lawyers prefer Apache these days!

I'd be more than happy to license it with MIT. But I haven't put a license precisely because most of the code was not written by me. I got permission from Han Uitenbroek to put it on github, but I never asked about licensing. I will contact Han and see what I can do!

(As for modifications, pull requests are welcome and accepting them would implicitly allow you to make modifications, but IANAL.)
