I recently came across your project QiskitTutorials and I noticed that the repository github.com/InvictusWingsSRL/QiskitTutorials currently does not have a license specified.

Why Adding a License is Important?

As GitHub documents

Public repositories on GitHub are often used to share open source software. For your repository to truly be open source, you'll need to license it so that others are free to use, change, and distribute the software.

Would be possible to add a valid license to this repository? Probably something really OpenSource such as the Apache 2.0 license would fit really well.

Thanks!

The problem with setting a license is specified in the README.
The code is not owned by me, but by the authors of the articles. I only changed it to be able to execute with qiskit >= 1 (and some other minor changes, including some fixes).
The code is not 'leaked', it is publicly available in those articles on arxiv.

I tried contacting them but I've got no reply, so I don't know what license to add.
