Hi there,

We would really like to use the project, but couldn't find any license / copyright. According to https://help.github.com/articles/licensing-a-repository/, this means that we can't 'reproduce' / copy the binaries.

Could you please fix this? You could use for example the MIT license (see https://choosealicense.com/).

Many thanks in advance!

Marc-Olivier

Actually, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_C_Library, glibc is using the LGPL license, so you should probably use the same. Just add a LICENSE file containing the LGPL license to your project.
