Licensing

PenguinMod extension code in this folder is under one of two licenses:

For an extension to use a specific license, it should specify the SPDX short identifier (seen above) in a comment at or near the top of the file.

Licensing examples:

// By: PenguinMod <https://github.com/PenguinMod>
// License: LGPL-3.0
(function (Scratch) {
    // ...
/**!
 * @file My Very Cool Extension
 * @author PenguinMod
 * @link https://github.com/PenguinMod
 * @copyright Licensed under LGPL-3.0
 */
(function (Scratch) {
    // ...

If an extension does not specify a license, it is assummed to be released under the MIT license with the copyright holders being the people credited to said extension.

Dual-licensing

An extension may also specify that you can use one license or the other, being "dual-licensing." In this case, you may choose the one that fits for you.

Mixed licensing

Extensions currently cannot specify to use one license and another. The only exception is extensions that specify a mix of MIT and LGPL-3.0.

This is not recommended for use, as the LGPL-3.0 license essentially overrides the MIT license. See this thread for more information.

If you modify these extensions, you need to include both the MIT and LGPL-3.0 license texts. Avoid submitting extensions that use mixed licensing.
