We want to make it easy for anyone to get involved with Akita, so we've licensed our project under two permissive licenses.
We've chosen the MIT License for our software (i.e. code/documentation) and the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC BY 4.0) for any of the assets we create (generally found in assets and any subdirectories, other than those found in the assets/external directory).
Assets in the assets/external directory are assets from another source or repository, which may not have been created by us. Please refer to the per-asset/per-source license information in assets/external for more details.
Licenses can be a bit intimidating, but we've chosen the ones we think make it easiest for you to leverage Akita.
The short explanations below are meant to make the licenses more understandable and are not a substitute for the actual licenses.
| Project Component | License | Short Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Software |  |
Adapted from tl;drLegal: You can use our software and related documentation as long as you include our original copyright and license notices in any copy of our software or related documentation. |
| Assets |  |
Adapted from tl;drLegal: Distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon our work, as long as you credit us for the original creation, including a URI/hyperlink to our work, our license and our copyright notice. |
For our copyright and license notices, please refer to our LICENSE file.
Essentially, just include our LICENSE file and link to this repo if you end up using our code, documentation or assets. :) If you want to use any assets in the assets/external directory, you should do a bit more reading on the per-asset/per-source license information, as they likely have different licensing from the rest of our project.
