I think it&#x27;s not a bad idea to remind people to add a license to their public github projects. It&#x27;s probably an oversight when they publish code for others to reuse, but don&#x27;t add a license.<p>I&#x27;ve had to email people before to ask what the license is.<p>But what exactly is the point of publishing this bot? Do you want multiple people to start running it? Will the bot create multiple automated issues per repo? That sounds like overkill.<p>Maybe add a note about that.

&gt; Github is full of &quot;open source&quot; project that carry no explicit license.<p>Some of that is intentional, some is not.<p>You may think that everything should include a license, but not everyone shares your sensibilities&#x2F;values. There are plenty of valid reasons to not include a license, including &quot;I don&#x27;t want to think about it right now&quot; and &quot;I just don&#x27;t want to assign a license&quot;.<p>Please don&#x27;t spam everyone who doesn&#x27;t agree with you. I hope Github bans this bot.
