Once you have chosen a license, you should place it in the root directory of your repository in a file named LICENSE.\r\n\r\nThe Free Software Foundation has a useful guide for [choosing a license](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html). I often reference the Software Freedom Law Center's [Legal Primer](https://www.softwarefreedom.org/resources/2008/foss-primer.html#x1-60002.2) for both practical and academic purposes (highly recommended). [tldrlegal.com](https://tldrlegal.com/) is a useful resource for comparing the various FOSS licenses out there once you have some context and background to what they mean.\r\n\r\nTo get a hold of actual lawyers and advisors who help FOSS projects, you could reach out to the FSF, SFLC, and OSI at:\r\n* licensing@fsf.org\r\n* help@softwarefreedom.org\r\n* license-discuss@opensource.org\r\n\r\nHope this helps, and happy hacking!"}}
