License
IsotopeAI is released under the MIT License — among the most permissive open-source licences. Use it, change it, ship it commercially. Keep the notice.

In plain terms #
| You may | You must | We do not |
|---|---|---|
| Use it commercially | Include the copyright notice | Provide any warranty |
| Modify the source | Include the licence text | Accept liability |
| Distribute copies | Guarantee it works | |
| Sublicense it | Owe you support | |
| Use it privately | Restrict your use |
Third-party components #
The application itself has zero runtime npm dependencies. These are the only third-party components in the project, all self-hosted rather than loaded from a CDN.
| Component | Licence | Where and why |
|---|---|---|
| liquidGL demo backdrops | MIT © NaughtyDuk | docs/assets/bg/ — the five abstract fields behind these pages. Only the images are used; the WebGL library itself is not. |
| IBM Plex Sans | SIL Open Font License 1.1 | Body and heading typeface on this site, via Google Fonts. |
| JetBrains Mono | SIL Open Font License 1.1 | Code and data typeface. |
| Supabase | Apache 2.0 / their terms | Your database, auth and storage. You run your own project under your own agreement with them. |
| Icons | Hand-written SVG | Traced in-house rather than taken from an icon set, so there is nothing to attribute. |
Nothing loads from a CDN at runtimeEvery third-party asset is vendored into the repository. The only external request this site makes is to Google Fonts for two typefaces; the application itself makes none.
Why MIT #
This is a study tool for students, many of whom will want to modify it, host it for a class, or learn from the source. A copyleft licence would oblige them to publish their changes; a non-commercial clause would create ambiguity for a teacher running it at a coaching institute. MIT removes both problems.
It also matches the project’s architecture. There is no hosted service to protect, so there is nothing for a more restrictive licence to defend.
If you fork it #
Keep LICENSE in place and you have met your obligation. Two requests beyond that, neither legally binding:
- Change the name and logo, so users are not confused about who maintains their fork.
- Link back to the original if you found it useful — helpful for the next person searching.
