Hi everyone I want to build a plugin for the Shopify app store but it has an MIT License. I have read its possible to use the code as long as the license/author is credited. Here is the MIT License below:
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to anyone obtaining a copy of this software and its accompanying documentation (the “Software”), to use the Software without restriction. This includes, without limitation, the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software. You may also allow others to do the same.
This permission is subject to the following condition:
The copyright notice and this permission notice must be included in all copies or significant portions of the Software.
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and noninfringement. In no event shall the authors or copyright holders be liable for any claims, damages, or other liability, whether in an action of contract, tort, or otherwise, arising from or in connection with the Software or its use.
Please let me know, thank you.
You're good to go! The MIT License allows you to use, modify, and distribute the code freely, as long as you:
1. Add the copyright notice and permission notice to your plugin's code.
2. Give credit to the original authors in your plugin's documentation or credits section.
