License dos and don'ts

[a.pilz]

Reading strapi/LICENSE at master · strapi/strapi · GitHub I understood strapi is available under MIT Expat License.

Practically I am unsure how to deal with that:

• Can I use strapi as backend - as it is, without modifications - free of charge and without mentioning on my site that I do so?
• Do I have to brand my site with a banner like https://beerbay.net/img/logos/stripe.png to show I use strapi as backend - or is this optional?
• in case I write a plugin - do I have to put it on github and make it available open source to everyone?
• what am I expected to do in my frontend to not to harm the license of strapi?

Thank You!

• yes absolutely
• no, there is no requirement, but if you do let us know! We like to share what our users are building (with your permission of course)
• You do not but we do hope you will! Many in our community have built and will almost certainly build more plugins and it helps the entire ecosystem.
• Nothing needed
