I would like to use this code but I need to know which license have the current developed code (https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/). For me it would be great if MIT license is used. More information. If you want, I can create the pull request adding the MIT license.

As this is significantly based on a reverse-engineered proprietary application I don't think it would be appropriate for the maintainer to include any kind of open source license. Also note that the source code is not included in this repo so the part that you that is probably most interesting wouldn't be covered.

However, a license for the python API would be interesting, From my understanding, that is original code from @florentbr? (or based of some of the other open source attempts to do the same).

While maybe still based on the insights from the Java sources, it should be alright. Then people could build complete systems based around that, which, right now, isn't really possible. Or port it to, lets say, C such that people can have bindings in most existing languages. Actually, I'd be interested in doing that, but ye, not without a license.
