- I choose an MIT license for my repository. I chose the MIT license because it gives freedom to users while needing only minimal attribution. This means that others can freely use, modify, and distribute my code, making it accessible to a wider audience without restricting how they use it. Additionally, the simplicity of the license ensures that contributors and users can integrate the code into their projects without worrying about legal issues. I encourage collaboration and innovation while keeping the project open and flexible for both personal and commercial use.
