Hi there - first, thanks for the great package. Second, I assume MIT is the license applied to this package in line with the package.json, however it would be really useful if an express LICENSE.md file is included in the repository. This is so detail around copyright date and author associated with the license are made completely clear (including for some automated license detection programmes).

Obviously not a rush but if the full text of the MIT license could be included that would be great! Thanks!

Hi @grabbeh, I'm not the original author of this library, but the license is also noted in the README: https://github.com/hieuvp/react-native-fingerprint-scanner#license.

I'm not against adding a license file - I'm not sure who would be the copyright holder or what year to use though

Ah yes, so it is - thanks for pointing that out! Considering there are multiple contributors, you could just say 'React-native-fingerprint-scanner' contributors' as the copyright holder or even just 'Various'.
