Just new to GitHub, not sure about the license file you mentioned. It is CPOL as well. Shall I put some file here as well?
I would add a license file to indicate that this is open source. Not everyone will have found it through Codeplex. Oddly, plenty of people publicly post proprietary code without licenses; when people assume it's open source because the code is on github, legal battles may ensue.
Here's more info on applying licenses: https://help.github.com/articles/open-source-licensing/. It's not really a github only thing, they just make it really easy to start with a license and advocate for including licenses. I'd use a license in BitBucket or any other public code hosting platform.
The main reason I ask is because some companies don't allow open source code to be used unless there are clear licensing terms included with the source.
If you'd like, I can add the license and open a pull request.
Thanks for your suggestion. I'd like to look into the license stuff myself and do some homework for it.
MIT license file added, close this issue.
Thanks for the reminder.
Saw this on code project, but this repo doesn't have a license file. Is this also to be CPOL?
