I'd like to submit a pull request but I can only do that if this project is licensed under a license with few restrictions such as Apache2 or MIT

No particular license, this is 'do with this what you will' public service code, like most of my projects here. A lot of the work is done in forks & derivatives and from time to time I do merge things back here; people are free to re-license their forks as appropriate for their use cases, but any code in this repo is assumed to be under no particular license or restrictions. Hope that helps 👍

It is really helpful to users of the code if you specify a license. Without a license specified in the repo, then it technically is no license and cannot be used (especially by us in non-profit realms).

Through the github website, it is very easy to add a license:

  1. From the make page of the repo, click on the "Create new file"
  2. type the file name "license" and a "Choose a license template" appears.
  3. you are redirected to another page with a list of licenses. Based on your comment, Apache or MIT would do.
  4. Set the Year and Full name and click "Review and submit"

Thanks!
