Sometimes, when I search for projects in GitHub Advanced Search (https://github.com/search/advanced ), I filter by license. Also my employer is kind of picky when it comes to submitting approvals for Free Open Source Software (FOSS). Could you please include the LICENSE file in the repo so it appears at the top of the GitHub page like so: https://i.imgur.com/ny6PEjB.png

Also, if you could go with a slightly more common permissive software license like Apache 2.0 or MIT, that would be helpful. I think it's possible to include a LICENSE file in all packaged artifacts like so: https://github.com/wartremover/wartremover/blob/f8c58daa3b3875430f15d9c17bcd34afd1e3b0cb/build.sbt#L19

I think the W3C licence is one of the most permissive. One would need to speak to W3C to find out if the lience can be also Apache.
