2 years ago I needed to do this quite a long time ago, thanks for the reminder! Regarding Vimix, while I might've used it as a starting point, I'm pretty sure there is no GPL code lying around anymore, so I choose BSL.
Nonetheless, in case of any license issue or anyone in the future wanting to know my intent with the project:
- I want people to use Matter.
- I want people to use Matter however they like.
- I think attribution is a nice gesture but don't want to enforce it.

Adding a license (legally) enables the creation and publishing of copies/forks of the project, among other benefits.
I noticed that one of the READMEs listed Vimix as a basis which was released under GPL3 -- if you used code from that project it might be wisest to license this project under the same.
If you're not sure what kind of license would be appropriate, see choosealicense.com for summaries and opinions on options.
