Is anyone else alarmed by a lack of a LICENSE.md and the missing /src/ folder mentioned in index.js? (github.com)

Additionally, it appears that the code for the backend server is intended to be public as well, but just doesn't exist outside of a readme.md document in the main branch.

This is setting off sirens, particularly the lack of a license.

Not alarming, but a bit concerning. It's developed by a single developer who has also developed Pixelfed, fedidb.org, fediverse.info and others.

It's not like this is some new, anonymous actor on the fediverse. He does a lot of projects, all at the same time in addition to working a day job. That doesn't excuse not releasing source code and license, but that could explain why some parts of the projects are prioritized.
