excellent job, permission to integrate this code to my threeverse project?

EDIT: @N8Three can give you that permission!

Technically the vanilla caustics library is unlicensed, so fully copyrighted and you cannot use it.

But you can probably use it and maybe no one will care.

If you’re in a company that requires a legal team to view licenses, a no-license lib carries more risk, and they may not go for it.

@N8Three would you be willing to add a license?
