No license specified

[smilechaser]

This looks like a really cool project with a lot of effort invested in it. I know I would like to use it, but am always hesitant when there is no explicit license provided.

If you have no concerns about a particular license, may I suggest the MIT license? I feel this would give users/contributors the most flexibility.

Thanks!

@smilechaser there is a license - https://github.com/barneygale/quarry/blob/master/COPYING.txt

Ahh good to know - thanks!

It still might be a good idea to add a LICENSE.md file though:

Just a friendly suggestion - feel free to close this if you don't agree.

@smilechaser I'm not the maintaner nor the contributor to this repo, and about license file - it's enough to add LICENSE, not LICENSE.md :)

GitHub say that they use a library called Licensee for detecting licenses, and this looks like it should detect COPYING.txt. I'll look into it.

@barneygale COPYING.md is not the same as COPYING.txt

Never trust the comments.
