Gumroad Code/Templates:

Each product has its own license set by its creator. There is no standard Gumroad license - terms vary wildly between sellers. Always read the full license before purchasing.

Some Gumroad sellers restrict usage to a single project or prohibit resale. Others offer full commercial rights. The price alone does not indicate the license scope.

GitHub:

License depends on each individual repository. No license file means all rights reserved by default - you cannot legally use, modify, or distribute the code.

GitHub Copilot suggestions may include code from repositories with various licenses. Review suggestions carefully for license compliance.
