Why Every Project Needs a License
Without a license, your code is under exclusive copyright by default — no one can legally use, modify, or share it. Adding an open source license explicitly grants permissions and sets conditions. MIT and ISC are simple permissive licenses. Apache 2.0 adds patent grants. GPL ensures derivative works remain open source. Choose based on how you want others to use your code.
