Haha! Good point!
Thanks everybody for the answers. I took a look to Matt Davey's DIY2
effects and he put no license txt file on its folder. Maelstorm mmb
libraries have no license too...
My patch is for everyone who wants to use it or learn with it. If
someone finally uses MEH-SYSTEM or a modified version of it in stage or
for a video or whatever... I "would like" to know it... only that!
Maybe I leave it as is. Saying nothing about license...
Skim the Wikipedia pages for GPL and 3-clause BSD, choose the one you
prefer, and then you're done.
Otherwise you create potential work for anyone who may have a use for
your software to figure out what the terms of use and distribution are.
It's probably not a big deal for a particular piece of software, and
there are plenty of Pd patches out there that don't specify anything.
But when you take, say, everything that exists on Github, the lack of
licenses probably leads to busywork that eats up measurable amounts of
time and effort.

Hello,
having no licence is probably not a good idea, as it's like enforcing
the default copyright rules that basically give no rights at all ...
(lots of code are practically not legaly usable on github for that
reason f.ex.)
the best would be IMHO to put it in (L)GPL and gently ask to downloaders
to report use as a courtesy on the download page...
have a good day,
Ol.
