Checklist

Please replace the space inside the brackets with an x if the following items apply:

• [x ] I've verified that I use the latest version of the add-on by redownloading it from AnkiWeb
• [ x] I've verified that I use the latest version of Anki by checking at https://apps.ankiweb.net#download
• [x ] I've checked if anyone else asked this question before by looking through the issue reports.

I am about to release an add-on to AnkiWeb that is heavily inspired by this Review Heatmap (there are snippets of code which are pretty much directly copied and pasted from this add-on if not just some tiny modifications). I was wondering what you would like me to do to give credit?

Sorry, I probably should have linked to the source code. Here it is: https://github.com/jerryzhou196/extended-heatmap Please feel free to brutally honest with me - This is my first Anki Addon and I don't want to end up breaking any guidelines.

@jerryzhou196 the first thing you need to do is comply with the license. It is licensed under the AGPL 3.0 with additional terms. You can find the AGPL terms and the additional terms the authors of review-heatmap have put in place in the LICENSE file in this repo. Pretty much you just need to place the AGPL license file in your repo and make sure you are complying with the terms of that license (so, read the license). By placing the license in your public repo you are 90% of the way there to complying with the license. In the README.md of this repo you'll also find a 'License and Credits' section. You must provide the credits (i.e. the copyright notices) in your repo for the review-heatmap software. If you use either of the two javascript libraries mentioned in the 'License and Credits' section in this repo in your own extended-headmap software you must provide the copyright notices and and licenses for those javascript libraries as well.

Note: I am not associated with this project at all, I just started using it today and was looking through the issues section for something unrelated. I just saw this issue and noticed that you're violating the AGPL license so I'm just addressing your question. Hope this helps and addresses your question.
