Here is the Answer of first FAQ

Which license do I need? Which license you need depends on the specific use case and the type of content you want to license. Here are some common license types and their typical applications:

  1. Creative Commons (CC) licenses: If you want to share your work with others and allow them to use, distribute, or modify it under certain conditions, Creative Commons licenses are a popular choice. There are several types of CC licenses, ranging from more permissive to more restrictive.
  2. Open-source licenses: If you are sharing software or code, open-source licenses govern the terms under which others can use, modify, and distribute your code. Popular open-source licenses include the MIT License, GNU General Public License (GPL), and Apache License.
  3. Commercial licenses: If you want to monetize your work and restrict others from using it without permission, you may choose a commercial license. These licenses typically require individuals or organizations to purchase a license to use your content for commercial purposes.
  4. Public domain dedication: If you want to release your work into the public domain, where anyone can use it without restrictions, you can choose to dedicate it to the public domain. Keep in mind that public domain laws vary by jurisdiction.
  5. Custom licenses: In some cases, you may want to create a custom license with specific terms and conditions tailored to your needs. Custom licenses can offer more flexibility but may require legal expertise to draft and enforce.

It's important to carefully consider your goals, the intended audience, and the level of control you desire over your work when choosing a license. You may also want to consult with a legal professional to ensure your chosen license aligns with your intentions and provides the necessary legal protection.

@bhartik021 One of the best ways of adding the issue. Where are you planning to add this though? Is this for the App or the Landing Page? 🤔

Why did you mention GSSoC 23? I specifically asked folks not to mention it right?

For the Landing page
