What does this mean?
In short, the MIT License says that you can use BismillahCSS for anything you want, provided that the original copyright notice and permission notice are included. Here's what you can do with it:
- Personal/Commercial use: You can use it in both your own projects and those for clients.
- Modification: You're free to change the code as you see fit.
- Distribution: You can give the code to others or sell it as part of a larger project.
- Sublicensing: You can incorporate it into projects with different licenses.
What's the catch?
The only real stricture is that you must include the original copyright notice in any copies of the software.
Also, because the library is provided free of charge, the authors and contributors cannot be held liable for any issues that may arise from using it. It's provided "as is."
