Hi!

This is neat stuff. If I'd been aware of this when I started my own project, I'd probably have based it on your code :)

I'm actually doing my bachelor's thesis now, with the goal of implementing privacy and freedom-respecting camera surveillance, predator detection, alert and repel; in livestock farming. A major premise of the thesis is that the code should be AGPL-v3-or-later, to make sure that people throughout the user/developer chain have access to the source code.

Since your project doesn't declare a license at the moment, I believe it's currently considered public-source proprietary

I'd love to consider your code among the alternatives to base the thesis work on (and contribute to!), but it'd need to be under an AGPL-v3 compatible license :)

I see the Tensorflow code you've included is Apache-2.0, which is AGPL-v3 compatible. Other AGPL-v3 compatible licenses include MIT, MPL-2.0 and BSD (2&3-clause).

I hope you'll consider this, and add a compatible license :slightly_smiling_face:

Best, Jacob
