What licensing is needed to post excel sheet and macro as open source on github?

Question

I am working on a research project. The idea is that we will post an excel template and accompanying VBA Macro out on Github . What license is needed in the Github repo to allow this?

Note: The macro is mostly math and does not require use of other packages

Hi,

You have the option of selecting an appropriate open-source license that adheres to the specifications of your project. The license will specify how your code may be used, altered, and distributed by others.

The MIT Licence is one popular open-source license. As long as they include a copy of the original license and copyright notice, the MIT Licence is permissive and permits others to use, modify, and distribute your code without restriction for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.

Best Regards.
