No license = no legal use of the code by others

Your code could be very useful, but would you please add some license to this repository (e.g. MIT, BSD or Apache or whatever you choose) as you may not be aware of it, but legally, without a license, no one can use your code. http://opensource.stackexchange.com/q/1720/775

Indeed, it is in the files, my omission, just a pity that it is a viral GNU GPL license, and not free like the MIT license, which makes the project useless for me :(
