Add a license #2

Adding a license would make it more inviting for people to contribute to this project. See https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/licensing-a-repository

Could you help indicate what a proper license would be? I would like to keep ownership, but others can contribute.

Github has a complete guide for how to choose your license and properly put it into your repo for you:

Personally as a long-time open source guy, I strongly recommend permissive licenses. Either go for Apache-2.0 (which is the most comprehensive and widely used FOSS license), or MIT if you want super-simple short license.

In either case, you retain copyright for everything you write. Putting a license on means other people get a license to use your code, even in their own programs. Putting a FOSS license on it - especially if you get popular - means you might attract other developers interested in helping fix bugs or add features (like all the recent Polytopia changes - phew!).

Good luck, reach out if you want more license advice.
