How are the materials on Bunpro licensed?

I understand that it takes a lot of efforts to create all the amazing materials on Bunpro, so I wonder what are the rules/license requirements for those materials if I were to use them for other purpose.

Several purposes I can think of are listed here:

  • Quoting the materials on internet forums like Reddit and Japanese Language StackExchange.
  • Developing plugin/extensions to use with Bunpro, for either:
    • Personal use, or
    • Shared use for Bunpro users only, or
    • Commercial use

Good question!
I don’t have a definitive answer, but as far as the general feelings of the company is concerned:

Should be fine, as long as users dont copy massive sections of Reading Passages or multiple sentences in a indexing/packaging way.
A few scattered things here and there is fine.

  • Developing plugin/extensions to use with Bunpro, for either:
    • Personal use

Fine

  • Shared use for Bunpro users only, or

Fine

  • Commercial use

Not sure. Though we don’t have publicly facing APIs, so probably something we’d think about when we get to that stage


If you have an idea for a project, it’s probably best to send me or another admin a DM first!
That way we can consult with the Elders (the founder)
