    Hi.
    i was looking online for shader graph info to learn more, and found this awesome looking library. but i notice that it have no license created or define in the unity technology github repository (other projects have license apache or unity companion).
    Looking for info for this kind of situation found this
    "Without a license, the default copyright laws apply, meaning that you retain all rights to your source code and no one may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. If you're creating an open source project, we strongly encourage you to include an open source license. The Open Source Guide provides additional guidance on choosing the correct license for your project."

    and this: https://choosealicense.com/no-permission/
    "If you find software that doesn’t have a license, that generally means you have no permission from the creators of the software to use, modify, or share the software. Although a code host such as GitHub may allow you to view and fork the code, this does not imply that you are permitted to use, modify, or share the software for any purpose.
    Your options:

    • Ask the maintainers nicely to add a license. Unless the software includes strong indications to the contrary, lack of a license is probably an oversight. If the software is hosted on a site like GitHub, open an issue requesting a license and include a link to this site. If you’re bold and it’s fairly obvious what license is most appropriate, open a pull request to add a license – see “suggest this license” in the sidebar of the page for each license on this site (e.g., MIT).
    • Don’t use the software. Find or create an alternative that is under an open source license.
    • Negotiate a private license. Bring your lawyer."
    this materials are really great, compatible whit urp and i definitely want to use them and learn from them. Maybe I'm a bit neurotic, but I like to follow the rules. So please give the repo a license like the other cool projects that unity have in github. Thanks in advance!!.

    +1 I was looking for a license since last week, i looked even in the comment section of youtube videos and there are also people asking for if they can use this in their project in a commercial way. I hope i can use this because the materials are awesome.
