Figure out the license #1

Currently this project is under copyright, I definitely want to change this to a more open license.

The main duinoapp code is licensed under GPL-3.0, which is quite restrictive but I was concerned at the time of someone re-badging the product and selling it to schools. cough c0d3b3nd3r cough

Granted, that level of licensing restriction would kill a tool like this, as it would force anyone using it to open source their project under the same license.

I'm open to any suggestions. Maybe MIT, maybe a non-commercial for the act of uploading, idk :shrug:

I like that! I am going to use it for my open-source project. I think it could be a paid-for license for non-open-source projects.

Hey nice!

I think I just chucked it under MIT so I get less wrinkles worrying about it. As I heavily referenced other open source libraries when making this, I think being permissive is the right course.

Cool to hear you want to use it, let me know how it goes. Currently it's a work in progress and very likely open to breaking changes as I find things wrong, so keep an eye out.

You can create issues here or find me on the discord.
