Found during a hygiene sweep of the org's public repos: ifm was the only public DHI repo with no README at all, and it had no license either. With 20 stars and 5 external forks, it's also one of the more visible.

What this adds

  • README.md — deliberately short. What the repo is, a link to https://dhi.github.io/ifm/, and the thing most likely to confuse a newcomer: that the ifm package itself ships inside FEFLOW and is not what this repository contains. Left as a stub on purpose — the maintainers know this material far better and should extend it.
  • LICENSE — MIT, matching mikeio1d, modelskill, tsod and terracotta.

The README states explicitly that the license covers the documentation, tutorials and examples in this repo only, and that FEFLOW and the ifm package remain proprietary DHI software. That wording is worth a careful read, since it's the part with legal weight.

Separate issue

The published docs link twice to DHI/ifm_contrib, which is now private and archived — those are 404s for anyone reading the site. Filed separately.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The repo had neither, so a visitor saw a bare file tree of docs/,
tutorials/ and .fem data with nothing explaining what any of it is,
and no license meant none of it could legally be reused.

The README is deliberately short: what the repo is, a link to the
documentation site it builds, and the point most likely to confuse a
newcomer — that the ifm package itself ships inside FEFLOW and is not
what this repository contains. The maintainers should extend it.

MIT matches mikeio1d, modelskill, tsod and terracotta. It covers the
documentation, tutorials and examples here only; the README says so
explicitly, so it cannot be read as licensing FEFLOW or the ifm
package.
