Hi @matthewgthomas, thanks for contributing DEPAHRI to R-multiverse. We would like to keep distributing it from R-multiverse, but I see the package does not currently have a license:

https://github.com/humaniverse/DEPAHRI/blob/87459858693a051761b2a64de31a5d7c70d0dc5b/DESCRIPTION#L10

Our Acceptable Use Policy requires that:

Your content does not violate any applicable laws, regulations, or third-party rights, including intellectual property rights.

To be absolutely certain R-multiverse protects intellectual property rights, we require each contributed package to have a free and open-source (FOSS) license, which could be MIT, GPL, BSD 2 or 3 clause, Apache 2.0, or something similar. I noticed DEPAHRI has License: TBD in the DESCRIPTION file:

If you would like to keep DEPAHRI on R-multiverse, would you please add a valid FOSS license and create a new GitHub release with it? Otherwise, if you prefer DEPAHRI to not be on R-multiverse, please let me know.
