+:class: tip
+
+In this lesson you will learn:
+
+1. How to select and add a `LICENSE` file to your package repository with a focus on the GitHub interface.
+2. How to add a `CODE_OF_CONDUCT` file to your package repository.
+3. How you can use the Contributors Covenant website to add generic language as a starting place for your `CODE_OF_CONDUCT`.
+:::
+
+## What is a license?
+
+A license contains legal language about how users can use and reuse your software. To set the LICENSE for your project, you:
+
+1. create LICENSE file in your project directory that specifies the license that you choose for your package and
+2. reference that file in your pyproject.toml data where metadata are set.
+
+By adding the LICENSE file to your pyproject.toml file, the LICENSE will be included in your package's metadata which is used to populate your package's PyPI landing page. The LICENSE is also used in your GitHub repository's landing page interface.
+
+### What license should you use?
+
+We suggest that you use a permissive license that accommodates the other most commonly used licenses in the scientific Python ecosystem (MIT[^mit] and BSD-3[^bsd3]). If you are unsure, use MIT given it's the generally recommended
+license on [choosealicense.com](https://choosealicense.com/).
+
+:::{admonition} Licenses for the scientific Python ecosystem
+[We discuss licenses for the scientific Python ecosystem in more detail here in our guidebook.](../documentation/repository-files/license-files)
+:::
+
+### Where should the LICENSE file live
+
+Your `LICENSE` file should be placed at the root of your package's repository.
+When you add the LICENSE at the root, GitHub will automagically discover it and
+provide users with a direct link to your license file within your GitHub
+repository.
+
+:::{figure-md} github-coc-readme-license-tabs
+<img src="../images/license-github-root-dir.png" alt="Image showing the GitHub repository for SunPy an accepted pyOpenSci package." width="500px">
+
+Notice at the top of the
+README portion of the GitHub landing page, there are three tabs directly linking to the README file which is visible, the CODE_OF_CONDUCT file and one that specifies
+the license that SunPy uses. These files are discovered by GitHub because they
+are placed in the root of the project directory using standard naming conventions.
+:::
+
+
+### How to add a LICENSE file to your package directory
+
+There are several ways to add a LICENSE file:
+
+1. When you create a new repository on GitHub, it will ask you if you wish to add a `LICENSE` file at that time. If you select yes, it will create the file for you.
+2. You can add a license through the GitHub gui following the [<i class="fa-brands fa-github"></i> instructions here](https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository).
+3. You can add the file manually like we are doing in this lesson.
+
+:::{tip}
+If you completed the past lessons including
+
+1. [Making your code installable](1-installable-code.md) and
+2. [publishing your package to PyPI](publish-pypi.md)
+
+then you already have a **LICENSE** file containing text for the MIT license in your Python package. Thus you can skip to the next section of this tutorial which walks you through adding a CODE_OF_CONDUCT.
+
+If you don't yet have a **LICENSE** file in your directory, then continue reading.
+:::
+
+### How to add a LICENSE to your package - the manual way
+
+If you don't already have a LICENSE file, and you are not yet using a platform such as GitHub or GitLab, then you can create a license file by
+
+1. Create a new file called LICENSE. If you are using shell you can type:
+
+```
+# Create a license file in your shell
+> touch LICENSE
+```
+
+1. Go to [choosealicense.com](https://choosealicense.com/)
+2. Select permissive license
+3. It will suggest that you use the [MIT license](https://choosealicense.com/licenses/mit/).
+4. Copy the license text that it provides into your LICENSE file that you created above.
+5. Save your file. You're all done!

+In the pyOpenSci [packaging guidebook](../documentation/repository-files/license-files), we provide an overview of license in the scientific Python ecosystem. We review why license files are important, which ones are most commonly used for scientific software and how to select the correct license.

+Now you know how to add a LICENSE to your project. Next, you'll learn
+about the `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` file and how to add it to your
+package directory.
+
+(add-coc)=
+## What is a code of conduct file?
+
+A `CODE_OF_CONDUCT` file is used to establish guidelines for how people in your community interact.
+
+This file is critical to supporting your community as it
+grows. The `CODE_OF_CONDUCT`:
+
+1. Establishes guidelines for how users and contributors interact with each other and you in your software repository.
+2. Identifies negative behaviors that you don't want in your interactions.
+
+You can use your code of conduct as a tool that can be referenced when moderating challenging conversations.
+
+### What to put in your code of conduct file
+
+If you are unsure of what language to add to your `CODE_OF_CONDUCT`
+file, we suggest that you adopt the [contributor covenant language](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/) as a starting place.
+
+[![Contributor Covenant](https://img.shields.io/badge/Contributor%20Covenant-2.1-4baaaa.svg)](#)
+
+The `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` should be placed at the root of your project directory, similar to the LICENSE file.
+
+### How to add a CODE_OF_CONDUCT file to your package directory
+
+- Add a `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` file to the root of your repository if it doesn't already exist.
+
+```bash
+> touch CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
+```
+
+- Visit the [contributor covenant website](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/) and add [the markdown version of their code of conduct](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/code_of_conduct.md) to your `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md` file. Read the text closely to ensure you both understand it and also agree with its contents!
+
+That's it - you've now added a code of conduct to your package directory.

+
+In this lesson and the [last lesson](add-readme), you have added a:

+- `LICENSE` file and a
+- `CODE_OF_CONDUCT` file.
+
+These are fundamental files needed for every scientific Python package
+repository. These files help users understand how to use your package and
+interact with package maintainers.
+
+In the upcoming lessons, you will:
+
+- [Add more metadata to your `pyproject.toml` file](pyproject-toml) to support building and publishing your package on PyPI.
+- Publish a new version of your Python package to (Test) PyPI to preview the
+  updated metadata landing page.
