Fortunately, this story ends with a happy ending (as happy as licensing
stories can get)...

I made this issue to ask developer to add license to their code.

Good news is they chose free license (MIT).

Bad news is it took more than 6 months for them to do it (added three
days ago and maybe only because I asked).
