Hey, I noticed that the addon doesn't specify a license.
What license is this addon licensed under?

I checked the various dependencies it requires: 2x public domain, BSD, Open Font, MIT, LGPL-2.1, GPL-2.0, GPL-3.0-or-later.

The assembled or combined work , meaning the addon plus dependencies is GPL-3.0 and the other licenses mentioned.
Which means you must be compatible with other licenses but specifically GPL.

(Which is stated on the distribution sites.)

The license while distribution is at least all the license of the dependencies used in this addon. Effectively this means that the program is distributed under the GPL-3.0, the code of the addon itself has to be under a license compatible with it.

Note I'm not a lawyer but only a user of the addon who noticed this missing license information of the addon.
