Licensing and open-source status for MR-VMU-TROPIC GitHub repository

Hello,
 
I am having a look at the MR-VMU-TROPIC FMU base board. The documentation on GitBook explicitly states: "They are both opensource designs and may be copied and recreated as you wish."
 
However, the official GitHub repository currently lacks a LICENSE file, despite being described as an "Open-Source FMU base board" also there, which makes it difficult to use or adapt the design files safely.
 
I noticed there have been recent updates in the repository. Could the team add a standard open-source license file (such as the BSD-3-Clause license used on the TropicCommunityVMU) to the GitHub repository?
 
Thank you!

A license file has been added to the github repo GitHub - NXP-Robotics/MR-VMU-TROPIC: Preview of TROPIC VMU single board RT106X · GitHub

https://github.com/NXP-Robotics/MR-VMU-TROPIC/blob/main/LICENSE

Thanx again for highlighting that!
With kind regards,
Gerald
