Hello,

I was really amazed by this repository, because there are not so many open-source discord bots that are active in developement. I just wanted to ask, what about the licensing of this code? I am quite confused, because on the main discord page of the bot (https://discord.com/application-directory/815328232537718794), there is written: This bot is 100% free and if you have ideas to improve it, they are welcome on the support server.

Which could technically mean that the bot is free to use and modify. But no I see no LICENSE.md located in the project files. So, by now, the repository is Closed-source with code available.

Are you planning to change that? I think this repository could have GPL-3.0 license, which requires attribution and sets that modified code requires to be open source (e. g. forks in this project)

Oh, I completely missed this part, my bad. image

Still, I think it is a good idea to add license because of this: https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/

Hello ! Thank you for your remark, I am not very aware of the different licenses. I will inquire about it and make adjustments if necessary on the README.md

I have chosen the GPL-3.0 and edited the README.md

Thank you for the information about licensing !!

Have a good day !
