Congratulations, looking great!

One thing, IANAL, but it seems like the license page https://uidesigndaily.com/license (linking to 'Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported') says that it is okay to:

* "Not give credit . . ."

* "Distribute, sublicense . . ."

Whereas 'Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported' says:

* Must include copyright

* That you cannot Sublicense

See: https://tldrlegal.com/license/creative-commons-attribution-(...

As IANAL, I don't know how things stand legally when your license page says something, but the License it refers to says something else, but that might be something to look into?

Again great job both of you and especially your wife! :-)

Hey thanks a lot! That's a great point, I'll bring that up to her and forward your thoughts. Which license would you recommend that is more in line with the license page statements?

If credit is not required, looks like a public domain thing. CC0 [1] is one, there are also some other public domain licenses [2].

Hey thanks a lot for the resources! Choose a license is a life saver man.

Sounds like you give a very permissive way to use your designs, so maybe the MIT license (e.g. used for Rails, see. https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/MIT-LICENSE). But that requires a license and copyright notice, which you do not seem to require. So I am not sure. Maybe someone else can chime in? :-)
