i was also curious about this. I think the intent is that any output is open to use (i don't think you can copyright color schemes) and that the code is protected, but the code isn't really made available (besides the html/css/js delivered in browser). So the license actually adds confusion rather than clarifies.

Thank you, glad to hear that there are more people out there, who find the license confusing. I absolutely agree, that it should not be possible to license colors. However, the combination of the colors is obtained through the service provided here. Even here, one might be able to argue that constraining the usage of that is difficult. For me, I would like to ... maybe we can call it respect. I would like to respect the wishes of the creator of the webpage. If he says he does not want the output of his webpage to be used for Commerical purposes, then inshallah I will follow that.

Thus, it really would be nice if the author of this work @juxtopposed could just give a short reply.
