Congratulations for your great work. I am glad to see source code derived from MINUS (https://github.com/rfabbri/minus) being widely useful. However, there are licensing issues that need to be addressed.
The specific programming practice used in MINUS was the outcome of my efforts to optimize Homotopy Continuation. Therefore, the resulting style and C/C++ constructs are unique and traceable.
Please realize that I admire your work, I am just reminding you that the LICENCE conditions be met. In addition to the aforementioned legal LICENCING terms, I would like remind you that it is good scholarly practice to kindly credit the sources of your work in the README.
Thank you for your work, I will for sure use it myself and cite it.
