Open-Source License

StudyBonk is open-source under a simple dual license: the code is MIT-licensed and the written content is CC BY 4.0. In plain English, that means you can use, fork, modify and republish nearly everything here, as long as you give credit. This page explains the details.

Dual licensing, in plain English

StudyBonk is two kinds of work in one project: software (the Python build script, the design system, the JavaScript features) and writing (study guides, FAQs, even this license page). Each gets the license that fits it best.

• Code — including the build system and every feature: MIT License.
• Written content — guides, explanations and page copy: CC BY 4.0.
• Both licenses let you reuse the work freely, with attribution and no additional restrictions.

The code: MIT License

The MIT License is one of the most permissive open-source licenses in existence. The full text lives in the LICENSE file of the repository, but the practical version is short: do whatever you want with the code, just don't blame the author and keep the license notice when you redistribute it.

• Use StudyBonk's code commercially, personally or in the classroom.
• Copy it, modify it and build your own study platform on top of it.
• Redistribute it, provided the original copyright and license notice are included.
• Provided as-is: no warranty, express or implied.

The written content: CC BY 4.0

All written StudyBonk content — the study guides, flashcard content, quizzes text and explanatory copy — is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. That means you are free to share and adapt the material in any format, including commercially, under two conditions: you credit the original, and you indicate if you made changes.

• Share: copy and redistribute the content in any medium or format.
• Adapt: remix, transform and build upon it for any purpose, even commercially.
• Attribute: give appropriate credit and link to the license.
• No additional restrictions: don't add legal terms or technology that limit others' reuse.

How to attribute

Attribution should name the source and link back. The recommended form is a line like: 'StudyBonk by TuffyCoder (studybonk.pages.dev), licensed under CC BY 4.0' — placed wherever you would naturally cite a source: a caption, a footer or a credits page. For code, keeping the LICENSE file and a mention of the repository is sufficient under MIT.

• Credit line: StudyBonk by TuffyCoder.
• Link: https://studybonk.pages.dev (and/or github.com/TuffyCoder/StudyBonk for code).
• Note changes if you modified the content.

Where the source lives

Everything — the generator, the content files, the design system and the documentation — is public at github.com/TuffyCoder/StudyBonk. Clone it, read it, or diff it against the live site; what you see online is exactly what is in the repository.

Contributing is welcome

Found a typo, a wrong answer or a topic StudyBonk should cover? Contributions are genuinely welcome: open an issue to report it, or fork the repository and submit a pull request. Corrections to study content are especially appreciated, because accurate free education is the whole point of the project.
