Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This contribution to this ecosystem is fantastic! - but for me to be able to use it, the policies that be say that the repo has to include a LICENSE file. So that the lawyers upstairs can lawyer about something else, I'd like to request a LICENSE file feature for this repo.
Describe the solution you'd like
If you have a spare 45 seconds,
[ ] Hit that Add file button on the repo page, make a LICENSE file, and drop the MIT license text in there
[ ] Merge that onto the default branch (master in this case)
[ ] Momentarily marvel at the magic of code / build more awesome stuff like this (and this is definitely awesome 👏 )
I wondered about the "license": "MIT" property in some of the package.jsons, but after consulting with my Internet, it looks like that won't count
For better or worse, it turns out the obvious "fork-and-do-anything-else-with-it" strategy wouldn't work either. I guess GitHub basically only covers clicking the Fork button and admiring (but not using, modifying, distributing, etc...) your work from its new home in GitHub
Additional context
I just spent way too long reading about copyright, licensing, free software, free (libre) software - so I guess..?

Thanks for this repo, I'm excited to use it 👍
