Choose a FOSS license #18

Hey, nice project!

You would want to choose a valid FOSS license (and add copyrights) to call this opensource.

Some nice resources for this: https://choosealicense.com/ https://scancode-licensedb.aboutcode.org/help.html#license-categories

I would also suggest removing the Duolingo logos and other related assets (you cannot license other people's copyrighted work of course) as this makes it really hard to contribute to the project otherwise or consider it a serious project, because of future legal consequences.

Just the app itself and the demand for something like this should be good enough, you don't need fancy/familiar looking assets. Good luck!

Hey Ayan!

Checking these licenses out right away, will add an appropriate one in a few hours.

Thank you for this immense help. Really appreciate it.

Moreover, it would be great if you can join our discord server here https://discord.gg/9zNhEyEKy9

We could get help from you on this kind of stuff or maybe even more.

Regards, Rishi
