Reedy moved this task from Backlog to Missing/unspecified license on the Software-Licensing board.Feb 4 2026, 11:59 PM

package.json has "license": "GPL-3.0" (though I suppose it’s still worth clarifying if that’s meant to be -only or -or-later).

I checked the repository and found that package.json already specifies "license": "GPL-3.0", but there is no LICENSE/COPYING file in the repo root.

I can submit a patch to add a GPL-3.0 LICENSE file to resolve the missing license issue.

Hi @ATitkov could you take a look? thanks

Yes, I'm on it. I patch it in the following days.

Cool, just let me know when you need a new deploy.
