Hello,
I am creating a tool for internal use at my company. My team is looking to sort terabytes of list-information and we want to keep our interface familiar to novice users, which brought us to MacOS design strategies. I noticed your MacOS-CSS project, which has excellent components for windows and UI that we could use in conjunction with other projects.
On GitHub, if a project doesn't have a license file, it's treated like it's copyrighted - and that might not be what you want. (maybe it is, who knows?)
I don't know if this was an oversight or deliberate, but I'd like to use the CSS and/or HTML in your project. If you'd like, you can add a License file pretty easily on GitHub.
My favorite is the MIT License - it's the most permissive, at the expense of the possibility big companies might come along and "borrow" your code, close-source the majority of their project, and just keep the changes they made to your specific code open-source.
Despite this, I love the MIT License because it doesn't have very many restrictions on what individual programmers can and can't do with others' code. For a project that's a bit of a demo/showcase, the MIT license is a good choice because other programmers can freely use your code in their own experiments and projects without worry.
If you don't like the MIT license, there are other licenses that are also permissive - such as the Mozilla Public License (MPL 2.0), the GNU GPL, and the Apache License. If this all sounds confusing - don't worry, there's a website called choosealicense.org that is ran by GitHub, and it highlights the pros and cons of each of these licenses.
If you license this project under an open-source license, I would really appreciate it. Note that the GNU GPL requires that companies give full attribution and keep any usages of your code open-source, which I will gladly comply with. Either way, you will be attributed.
Thank you for your time and patience.
