There doesn't appear to be a license detailed either on the website or in the download zip. With each page having "© 2017 | All rights reserved UnderExpress.com" or similar on, including those in the zip, it isn't clear what "free" means. E.g. am I free to use it, modify it, distribute it etc., and if so how and with what restrictions.
For something like this, particularly if you are wanting to make it popular so that you can make money from support, I would suggest MIT or similar license.
- ankyth27 9y agoThanks for this. Just added a license link to the footer, will update to MIT once I go through it. Did you like the kit?
- RobAley 9y agoYes, it looks good. Had a look at the license you've added, it's still to ambiguous to use commercially. For instance, it says "Do not distribute on your hosting/third-party service.". While I assume that means as a whole stand-alone kit, it technically covers use in websites (as parts of the code will be distributed to browsers as part of the design). This is why its important to use an established license, either an open source one like MIT or a proper commercial license. Without one or the other many companies (who are the ones with the deep pockets to pay for support) won't touch it.
