Hi, could you please add a License? I would like to sell one or two of these adapters and need to know if I can use this library without restriction or if I should make my own.

If you do not have any idea, most libraries reference on the openSCAD libraries page are MIT, GPL 3.0, LGPL 3.0 or CC0, which are all pretty permissive. If you are not familiar with these licenses, the link I posted contains a short summary of what they allow/forbid besides the legal jargon.

In my opinion, the more appropriate here would be MIT or LGPL.

I need to look in to the license. But you are free to sell adapters made from this library with attribution (link to the repo). Let me know if that is a problem.

@lambtho12, I know you asked for this a long time ago. I avoided doing it as I didnt want to have to compare the licenses (was being lazy).
I have set the license as GPL. Let me know your thoughts. Otherwise I will consider this closed now.

GPL3 is one of my preferred licenses, so all fine with me !
You could also go a step further with AGPL to make sure it also covers the case where someone would setup a server that uses your code to generate parts.
