Hi, as I was looking into packaging this project for the Arch User Repository, I noticed no license was in sight.

Is it an oversight, or do you follow a "source available" approach to proprietary software? Seeing how many forks this project has (and the array of contributors) I would find it surprising, but modern software development being what it is... :-D

Cheers for the great project!

Sorry, hadn't looked in the doc folder, that's a GPL license alright 😅

May I suggest you make it a detectable license so that it gains better visibility, and can be found as such on Github via filter search? Just my two cents, thanks in any case 🙏
