Description
Hi,
i'm a beginner and starting to do some open (source) hardware projects with freecad.
Libraries like this make designing much faster and less tedious, but i want to give good credit to every person whose tools or parts i used to aid me.
So i'm concerned about the Licence of this Workbench. I could not find Licence information in this repo or the wiki neither about the code nor about the library of parts.
I think its important that this Workbench gets propper licences and some explanaition for the users of this workbench, so nobody accidentaly does not credit the work of others and nobody gets into legal trouble.
The People maintaining the BOLTS library made a nice writeup detailing the problems for the maintainers and the users which might aid this library too: https://www.bolts-library.org/en/docs/0.3/document/general/licensing.html

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository and wiki for the missing licence information, then read the linked BOLTS licensing writeup for context. Clarify licensing for both the workbench code and the parts library, and document the applicable licences and user attribution guidance so users can credit contributors and avoid legal uncertainty.
