How would I license a repository I'm making? Since it uses different libraries that have different licenses.

hey, maybe you can refer to this website to choose which one suits you. If any of the libraries you are using require attribution, make sure to include the appropriate attribution in your project. This is often done in the NOTICE file or within your documentation.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. I used the site linked above and chosen a license, but I cannot add it to an eixsting repository. Documentation saays, the way would be by just clicking the link in the About-column on the right inside the repository. But I do not have that link over there (After "Readme", next link is "Activity"): https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository
Is there any other way to add a license to an already existings repo?

Thanks in advance
