Description

Title, basically.

I imagine one well-worded paragraph mentioning

  • that the library (both the original as well as the community edition) are MIT licensed,
  • that the code for Grant's videos (3b1b/videos) is open-source but copyrighted (in particular: Pi creatures are protected),
  • that videos created with Manim are allowed (and actually even supposed) to be shared online; no attribution of Manim is required (just much appreciated)

would do the job. Help coming up with a suitable wording is very welcome!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing LICENSE file and any copyright notices in the repository. Draft a concise paragraph for the landing page that covers the MIT license for the code, the copyrighted status of 3b1b/videos (Pi creatures), and the permission to share videos made with Manim. Coordinate with maintainers for wording approval.
