Add a license to the repository #1

Open cbjuan opened 1 week ago

I recently came across your project LearnQC and I noticed that the repository github.com/xuelx1/LearnQC currently does not have a license specified.

Why Adding a License is Important?

As GitHub documents

Public repositories on GitHub are often used to share open source software. For your repository to truly be open source, you'll need to license it so that others are free to use, change, and distribute the software.

Would be possible to add a valid license to this repository? Probably something really OpenSource such as the Apache 2.0 license would fit really well.

Thanks!

Thank you for your advice!

I learned about a few licenses this morning, including Apache of course.

This repo is a really basic one and I consider people who have interests in it are beginners in quantum computing just like me.

So I choose MIT License, because I think it is more open in some way. And if there's someone who want to use this repo, I hope they can use it as easily as possible.

And I've added MIT License to my repo just now.

The issue you post is the first issue I've come across. I regard it as a giant leap in my github career. Again, thank you for your advice!

Thanks for adding the license and taking care of this. The only remaining advice from my side is to rename the license file, since you've named it as LISENSE while it should be LICENSE without the typo :)

Thanks again
