Licence clarification #4

Hi @martinONS ,

Great code, works like a charm.

You haven't specified a licence for your code. https://help.github.com/en/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/licensing-a-repository So I am not sure what you allow and what it a breach of your copyrights. I want to write a blog post explaining how to get data financial data from Companies House and do some analysis on it. Will be linking to your GitHub page if you allow the use of your code.

You can contact me on (smellofroses2@gmail.***) Anna

Hi Anna - glad you like it, the reason the code is bodgy and that there's no license is that I'm a data scientist, and therefore a crap software developer! You have my permission to do absolutely anything you like with the code, and I'll try to get some kind of extremely open and permissive license attached to it when I can. That might be in the week though, busy week.

Best of luck with the blog post and analysis.

Martin, ONS
