Checklist

This is a checklist for adding a license to your project repository.

• Go to your repository folder (local computer or online repository on GitHub/GitLab/BitBucket)

• Create a new file and name is License.txt or License.md based on your preference of the file format

• Choose a type of license (or multiple license for mixed content) that is suitable for your project (visit choosealicense.com)

• Copy the license content to the newly created file, for example, you can use an Open Source license CC-BY 4.0 for text content and MIT License for software

• Save your file and add details in your README.md file
