Hi,

I noticed that there is no software license listed on BACpypes3. Could one be added so I know what we can do with the project?

Thanks!

@obscuresc Is there one you would recommend? I'm considering the example here used by @skarg.

I apologize for intervening, but ultimately, the decision should largely rests on how you, as the author, want to approach it. You might find the following resources helpful:

The Open Source Guide on Legal Matters
Choose a License
- Chose a License: Licenses
- Chose a License: Appendix

The first link is about why having a license matters and the next links give a good TL/DR overview + additional details on what some of the most common open source licenses are about.
