Inspired by Bank of Georgia, I decided to add "terms of use" to my open source projects. 🇺🇦 Obviously this will not deter bad actors, but at least it gives me a sense of moral satisfaction. Any other OSS maintainers want to do something similar?

Please be mindful of free software developers and also fix the license badge on nuget, as this is GPL-incompatible.
