The `LICENSE` file is what governs. - **You may** use, study, copy, modify, and share this app, including for free at any school. - **If you share a modified version** or **run one as a website other people use**, you must make your complete source code available to its users under this same license. The website case is covered by section 13 of the AGPL. - **You may charge money**, but you cannot keep your changes closed. Every recipient and every website user gets the same freedoms you did. - **There is no warranty.** Check every quiz in Canvas before students see it. ## Intended use This app was created for **teaching and learning at public and non-profit educational institutions**. That is a statement of the author's intent and a request to users. It is **not** an extra restriction on the license, because the AGPL does not allow added restrictions on who may use the software. If the AGPL's terms do not fit what you want to do, contact the copyright holder at [n.gardella.cc](https://n.gardella.cc/) to discuss other arrangements. ## Additional terms under AGPL section 7 As permitted by section 7(b), 7(c) and 7(e) of the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3, the following additional terms apply to this work: 1. **Attribution (7(b)).** Modified versions must keep, in their user interface and documentation, the author attribution "Concept & architecture: Nicholas Gardella" (or reasonably equivalent wording) together with a link to this project's source, and must keep the credit to text2qti by Geoffrey M. Poore. 2. **Marking modified versions (7(c)).** Modified versions must be clearly marked as different from the original version, for example by changing the page title or adding a "modified by" notice. They must not be presented as the original author's version. 3. **No trademark rights (7(e)).** This license grants no rights to use the names, logos, or trademarks of Washington and Lee University, of Nicholas Gardella, or of any other party mentioned here, except as needed to describe where the work came from. ## Third-party components This repository contains only original files (HTML, CSS, Python, and documentation). The components below are **not stored in this repository**. Each visitor's browser downloads them from their original publishers when the page loads. They are listed here for credit, to keep their notices intact, and for anyone who repackages the app with these components bundled in. ### text2qti 0.8.0: the quiz parser that does the real work - Author: Geoffrey M.
