Adding a license would clarify how others can use this code. @PAPAMICA are you interested in putting an open source license on this project?

Hello,

The code is completely free on my side, but this is the first time I've been asked about the licence.

If you can tell me how to do it, I'd be happy to license it under a free licence.

@PAPAMICA As mentioned here:

When you make a creative work (such as writing, graphics, or code), that work is under exclusive copyright by default. That is, the law assumes that as the author of your work, you have a say in what others can do with it.

In general, that means nobody else can use, copy, distribute, or modify your work without being at risk of take-downs, shake-downs, or litigation.

This website has a lot of helpful information on how to choose a specific license. Adding one is as simple as creating a LICENSE file at your project root (no extension necessary) and pasting the contents of your chosen open source license. After doing so, anyone can then use the code within the guidelines of the new license.
