Description

❯ checking DESCRIPTION meta-information ... WARNING
  Non-standard license specification:
    `use_mit_license()`, `use_gpl3_license()` or friends to pick a
    license

Can someone more well versed in NOAA policies help pick a license file or how we specify it is part of the public domain?
