intellectual-property internet licensing youtube
License of a code resulting from following a Youtube tutorial
<p>I was following this tutorial on YouTube - <a href="https://youtu.be/V_lAhqLXT9A" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://youtu.be/V_lAhqLXT9A</a> where you download some starter files and then edit them according to the tutorial to make a website.</p>

<p>I wonder what legal status the result has? I know that YT videos are not in the public domain, but I am not sure what about the information inside them e.g. snippets of some code. </p>

<p>Also, there was no license int the starter files.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>You wrote it... they have <a href="//choosealicense.com/no-permission/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">no license</a>!</p>

<p>Having no license, they don't qualify as open source software, so theoretically you should actually not use them.</p>

<p>I guess they won't sue you for using them to start your projects, but I guess they might want to if you use them to make and publish your own competing <em>material for helping start a project</em>.</p>

<p>I guess one should be cautious not to check such code in version control until it's so much changed it's unrecognizable.</p>
