thanks for your help everyone! :) The demo is free, yes. copyrights are free and automatic (after 1989). but they only cover the "expression of an idea", not the idea itself. functional aspects of an artistic sculpture are not protected by copyright. they will eventually expire. they are international (bern convention, etc). there are criminal sanctions available against people who make a profit or steal your profit by infringing copyright. also statutory damages. it is somewhat difficult to determine exactly what is the status of a copyright unless you know when it was first created, who the author is, when it was published, where it was published, the nationality of the author, when or if the author died, whether the work was published with necessary formalities (prior to 1989), etc.

patents are expensive and only issued after examination, which can take years. they protect inventions including machines, chemical compositions, processes, etc. other types of patents protect ornamental designs or certain plants. patents last only a couple of decades and are difficult and expensive to protect. however, they prevent anyone from making, using, selling or importing your invention in any country where you have obtained and maintained a valid patent. to sue on a patent you must have an issued patent in the country where the alleged infringement occurred. just filing patent applications in twenty countries may cost over $100,000. then there are prosecution fees, issuance fees, annual maintenance fees, etc. enforcing a patent in a us federal court will cost upwards of a million dollars.

trademarks (in the usa) are automatic from the first use in commerce. however, your protection is only limited to your local use and for the present goods and serviices to which you attach your brand. you can optionally register you brand in any state, but most valuable brands are registered in the us patent and trademark office, meaning more paperwork and fees. however, the issued registration can be used to prevent others from using a confusingly similar mark anywhere in the usa, and any countries named in your madrid protocol international protection application (more fees), pertaining to the classifications of goods or services you have registered. common law trademark protections (lanham act) last as long as you continue to use your trademark. registrations expire if you do not maintain them.

some works are protected by patents, copyrights and trademarks simultaneously. like a nike shoe" the functions and ornamental designs (and maybe the tread) are patented, the nike name and logo are trademarks, and any photos, descriptions, advertising, video, etc describing or showing them. are copyrighted.

the license key your app is referring to isn’t anything specific or coming from netlify - it seems like the app itself has expired, or needs some kind of key. are you using some kind of paid tool to generate the yearbook? the atlassian community guidelines for vendors strongly discourages advertising/promoting apps. see <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/marketplace-apps-integrations/atlassian-community-guidelines-for-marketplace-vendors-and/ba-p/689723> for more details.

going direct to banning seems to be a bit str… yes, you can using a module.

you might have seen examples of module where a only a symbol is given, e.g. from the docs:

data = mx.sym.variable('data')

fc1 = mx.sym.fullyconnected(data, name='fc1', num\_hidden=128)

act1 = mx.sym.activation(fc1, name='relu1', act\_type="relu")
