Adds a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) to the repository, restricting usage to non-commercial purposes only.

Changes Made

  • LICENSE file: Created comprehensive CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license text with clear terms for permitted and prohibited uses, including additional terms for commercial licensing inquiries
  • package.json: Updated license field from "ISC" to "CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0"
  • README.md: Expanded license section with detailed usage guidelines, including:
    • ✅ What users CAN do (personal, educational, research use, modifications, sharing with attribution)
    • ❌ What users CANNOT do (commercial use without permission, removing attributions, additional restrictions)
    • Instructions for obtaining commercial licensing
    • Link to full license text and online reference

License Summary

The CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license permits sharing and adaptation for non-commercial purposes while requiring attribution and share-alike terms. Users who wish to use the software commercially must contact project maintainers for a commercial license.

Verification

  • ✅ package.json validates as correct JSON
  • ✅ Code review completed with no issues
  • ✅ Security check passed (no security concerns)
  • ✅ All files properly committed and pushed

The changes are documentation-only and do not affect any code functionality.

Done! I've added a CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 (Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0) license to the repository. This license allows non-commercial use while requiring attribution and share-alike terms.

Changes in commit 72b2317:

  • Created LICENSE file with full license text
  • Updated package.json license field to "CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0"
  • Expanded README.md license section with clear usage guidelines

The license permits personal, educational, and research use, but prohibits commercial use without permission.
