Hi, I just read your blog post on password sharing and am excited that you shared the source code of your app. In order for others to host it by themselves (which I'd personally love to do given the sensitive nature of passwords), could you choose a license that allows others to use your project? The Apache 2.0 license is a great permissive license, while the GNU AGPLv3 is a great copyleft license that requires others to share changes under the same license. E.g. the latter can selected by adding the license text as a new file COPYING.txt to your repository and then adding the following statement to your README.md:
