Can you please clarify the licence of the project?

Without a license, the project is legally "copyright of the author, all rights reserved". Under US, EU, and many other countries laws on copyright, this is not open source. It's private code. If we use it we could end up in a copyright lawsuit.

If you never plan on enforcing your copyright, or just want this to be freely usable to everyone, then picking a good open source license is the way to go.

Both MIT and Apache 2.0 are great licenses, which give the users freedom to use your utility any way they want. Both are "gold standard" for open source. Feel free to pick one.

Thanks!
