You're under no obligation to choose a license. However, without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. If you're creating an open source project, we strongly encourage you to include an open source license. The [Open Source Guide](https://opensource.guide/legal/#which-open-source-license-is-appropriate-for-my-project) provides additional guidance on choosing the correct license for your project.

If your repository is using a license that is listed on the Choose a License website and it's not displaying clearly at the top of the repository page, it may contain multiple licenses or other complexity. To have your license detected, simplify your *LICENSE* file and note the complexity somewhere else, such as your repository's *README* file.
