Missing license info about winapi-kmd-rs HOT 3 OPEN

hello, licensing your code would be very welcome, i'd like to use it :) If you just create the file LICENSE via github online it will make a little license selector where you can just click a template

from winapi-kmd-rs.

Perhaps. Is it necessary? I see that also there is a way to just mention it in the README, but again, it's not obligatory (because of "may include").

I really don't want to add unnecessary files or to pollute sources. But I could include that phrase in README if license field isn't enough.

IANAL, but reading the license, it sounds like the text itself needs to be physically present somewhere in the repo (which makes sense to me because you are basically enumerating the rights you are granting).

I understand your reasoning behind wanting to minimize the number of files. Personally, I would opt for a LICENSE file, but it sounds like including the whole body of text in the README should work as well.

Sidenote: I would also personally include the license copy in the header of each file; that way, if a consumer chooses to only use a subset of your repo (e.g. one of the examples), it's clear who owns the copyright and under what license it's being made available.
