GH Licences & Perms

hey, uhh-- would I be allowed to copy & paste their stuff to my discord bot, and modify/change it to be my own/unique-ish, and use that as my own coding, if a prox vc thing has this, on github?...

I'm not a lawyer, but the way I understand this license is, you're allowed to use/modify the source code as mentioned in the permissions, but then you also need to use the same license in your own project. So yeah, you're free to use and modify snippets of code from the project with this license, but then you need to offer the same to others

sweet, kk i'll just include a readme for the bot, and include a readme cmd... that should do, right?... i can just copy the license from here: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

Well if you're not making the project public just yet, then you don't need to do the licensing stuff, just wait until it is I guess
