If the license is left unspecified, the default is "all rights reserved", which restricts copying and modification of the source code in this repository and in your QMK modules.

I am not sure if the GPL forces any obligations in this case, and if it considers this work derivative to qmk_firmware, but to be on the safe side I'd recommend using GNU GPLv2 as well.

Keep in mind that LICENSE file would cover the whole repo, so you might want to explicitly state that the article is published under a different license, if you chose to go with the GPL for the code.

Ok, I will move out the article, and change the license of this repo and of the submodules to GNU GPLv2 like in the QMK. But this must take some time...
