Understanding Source Code Licenses (MIT, GPL)

Before using or selling source code, understand its license — it defines what you may and may not do.

MIT

Very permissive: use, modify, and sell as long as you keep the license text.

GPL

Copyleft: derivatives must also be GPL and open-source.

Commercial

Paid code often limits use per domain/project and forbids reselling. Always read the terms.

Conclusion

Choose MIT/Apache for flexibility, GPL for open-source, and read commercial licenses carefully.
