pywikibot/i18n lacks a license
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

The pywikibot/i18n git repo has no mention of a license. Would be nice to add a LICENSE file at the root of the repository.

You might as well want to adjust package.json to point license to it.

So the process of importing translations from MIT-licensed scripts to TWN appears to infringe copyright laws?

That covers my original request which was: which licensing is used?.
