</div>Then, you look for the license, only to find there isn't one, and realize<br>
you aren't legally allowed to distribute copies (modified or not) of this<br>
software to anyone, which makes contributing to it basically impossible.<br>
<br>
Magnus: Please add a license to your repository, in order to bring the<br>
software into compliance with the Labs TOU, which states [0]:<br>
<br>
> Proprietary software: Do not use or install any software unless the software is licensed under an Open Source license.<br>
