License clarification

Open hansenc opened this issue 10 years ago • 2 comments

The individual modules themselves (e.g. bootstrap, jQuery) have licenses referenced in them (e.g. Apache 2, MIT), but there's no mention of a license for the files generated by initializr or some of the assets included in the distribution (e.g. touch icons). I'd like to redistribute these files in a project of mine, but I'm left wondering if I'm allowed to do so. Please clarify under which license these files are provided.

I understand the intent that these files be modified for our own purposes and hosted on a server somewhere (i.e. redistribution), but including a license in the distribution would make that intent clear while making the lawyers happy (I can understand if that's a non-goal).

A quick answer here: The only piece of code that belongs to Initializr is the HTML and CSS of the responsive template (the orange one). All the rest belongs to HTML5 Boilerplate / Twitter Bootstrap / jQuery, etc. Regarding this code it is available under the Public Domain.
