Looks nice, but there's no license. Can't do a thing with this.

Thats an oversight on my part, I should put a license on it. I would love for anyone to be able to build one or tinker with the code as they want to. After all I was only able to make this because others shared their projects that I could learn from.

I would suggest CC-BY-SA

You can do this by doing as little as making a single file named LICENSE in the top level directory, with a single line:

    This work is licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. To view a copy of this license, visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
That's it.

It is the hardware/artwork spritual equivalent of GPL2. It means the user must not remove your name, must make source/plans available, and commercial activity is ok.

Just a suggestion if you don't know where to begin or what to do, hadn't really thought about it or read up on all the infinite options etc.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've added this license to the project.

This license is, AIUI, OSH compliant.

Awesome. Thank you for releasing your work as open hardware.
