Summary

  • Adds an MIT LICENSE file at the repo root.
  • Year (2026) and holder (Omar Omran) match the <Copyright> field already declared in ScreenSound.csproj, so the assembly metadata and the license file are consistent.

Why now

Two reasons:

  1. winget submission — Microsoft's manifest validators require a License field in the locale manifest and a LicenseUrl pointing at the source-of-truth file. Without a LICENSE in the repo, there's nothing to point at, so the first wingetcreate submission for twibster.ScreenSound will fail review.
  2. General open-source hygiene — without an explicit license, GitHub treats the repo as all-rights-reserved by default. That blocks any downstream packager (winget, AUR, scoop, etc.) from legally redistributing the binary, even though the project is clearly intended to be freely usable.

MIT was picked as the lightest permissive option that matches how the project is already being shared (public repo, free download, no CLA).

Release impact

Labelled release:skip — pure metadata, no code change, no need to cut a version.

Test plan

  • Verify GitHub's repo-page sidebar starts showing "MIT License" once merged.
  • Confirm wingetcreate new accepts https://github.com/twibster/ScreenSound/blob/main/LICENSE as the LicenseUrl when generating the initial manifests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated project license information with full MIT License text and copyright notice.

Required for the winget submission (Microsoft's manifest validators
expect a license URL pointing at the source-of-truth license file)
and for general open-source hygiene — without one, the repo is
effectively all-rights-reserved by default and downstream packagers
can't redistribute.

MIT chosen as the lightest permissive option that matches how the
project's already being shared (public GitHub repo, free download,
no contributor agreement). Year and holder match the
<Copyright> field already in ScreenSound.csproj.

Freedom and openness—the perfect mix! ✨
