Thank you Rushabh, these are helpful steps. OP, if you do choose to publish
it as a Free/OpenSource Software, please also ensure that the source code
clearly indicates the specific Free Software license it is released under.
If there's no accompanying license statement, it is assumed that the
software is proprietary since there's no way to explicitly tell if your
users have the freedom to use/modify your software.

As an example, here's FSF's guidance on how to apply GNU GPL license to
one's project: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.en.html
