Hi @ry, @dylanegan, @ezmobius, I was wondering if one of you could legally provide a license statement for this repository...

https://opensource.guide/legal/#why-do-people-care-so-much-about-the-legal-side-of-open-source

I can't find any sign of a license grant.

Unfortunately, this repository has the following text:

* Copyright 2008 Engine Yard, Inc. All rights reserved.

@engineyard has quite a few repositories, many are MIT, but at least one 📌 repository that's LGPL3, and possibly other repositories under other licenses.

I understand that this repository isn't actively maintained, but there are forks, all of whom are in at best legal gray area, and at worst subject to serious legal liability.

It'd be great if the repository could be licensed MIT. -- I'd be happy to try to help, but this isn't something someone who wasn't either the author or the employer of the author (or their successors) can do.

Thanks.
