Why Different Licenses?

Content (CC BY-NC): Writing takes time and effort. The NonCommercial clause prevents someone from just copying everything and selling it. If you want to use it commercially, ask first.

Code (MIT): Code should be free to use. The MIT license is permissive and compatible with almost anything. Take it, modify it, ship it. No strings attached.

Third-Party Content

Some content on this site may reference or link to third-party resources. Those resources are subject to their own licenses and terms. This license only covers original content created by Vivek Pal.

Questions?

If you're unsure whether your use case is allowed, just ask. Reach out on X/Twitter or email vivek [at] vivekpal [dot] xyz.

TL;DR: Content is CC BY-NC (share with credit, no commercial use). Code is MIT (do whatever you want). Questions? Ask.
