A message saying: "The Odin Project is 100% free and open source, if you are paying for this content, you are getting ripped off" could be helpful in combating people linking TOP's MD in their paid courses.

As much as I hate this we are open source. This is what it's all about - the sharing of information. I think we can put something along the lines of

This content is open source and freely available. If you find a mistake or want to add something please find us on github.com/theodinproject

I think that's a nice (RE: P.C.) way of getting that point across.

Not sure where we are on this.... pretty sure nobody that needs to see that message will notice a comment hidden in the MD, and I don't like the idea of literally adding a disclaimer on the page in every lesson... even if it's as PC as @mindovermiles262 suggested.

@codyloyd I think this would be better off being put in a flash message or modal when the user first views the pages. As long as we don't bombard them with modals constantly, it could be a useful tool to educate the users just in case.
