This requirement makes the license non-reusable: it can only be used by projects that you create, or derivatives of those projects.</div><div><br></div><div>Section 5 claims to be stating the terms of use of the license itself (not the project using the license), but the terms and conditions inside the license don't apply to the license itself - any license grant related to the license itself would need to be stated separately.</div><div><br></div></div><div>On Sat, May 2, 2026, at 12:53, Yi\u011fit Hamza wrote:</div><blockquote type="cite" id="qt" style=""><div class="qt-elementToProof" style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);margin-top:1em;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:0px;font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;font-size:12pt;color:black;"><b>Summary:</b></div><div class="qt-elementToProof" style="text-align:left;text-indent:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);margin-top:1em;margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:1em;margin-left:0px;font-family:Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont;font-size:12pt;color:black;">I am a 9-year-old self-taught software developer and the founder of the <b>Radio Tech's</b> team.
