Question about Licensing, modification, and integration

[DonaLdZY]

Hello, and thank you for making MLEvolve publicly available.

I plan to modify MLEvolve for my own business use cases and integrate the modified code into my project. However, I could not find an explicit open-source license in the repository, so I would like to clarify the permissions regarding its use, modification, integration, and distribution.

Would you consider adding an explicit open-source license to MLEvolve?

I would also appreciate clarification on any applicable requirements, including:

1. Whether the code may be modified and integrated into another project;
2. Whether code containing these modifications may be published or distributed;
3. Whether attribution to the original authors and MLEvolve is required;
4. Whether the original copyright notices must be retained;
5. Whether modifications to the original project must be clearly identified;
6. Whether there are any other licensing, attribution, or copyright requirements.

I am willing to comply with the license selected for the project, including any attribution, copyright notice, and modification disclosure requirements.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to your response.
