A license is a legal tool you can use to protect your open source project. It is a set of rules that people must follow if they want to use your work. It gives you the right to decide how others can use and distribute your project. It is important to choose a license because without one, the default copyright laws apply. When you select license while creating your github repository, github automatically creates LICENSE file.
