Show HN: Flowbite – Tailwind CSS Components Library

I hope this comment comes across as constructive and not an attempt to argue about licensing, but I find it really confusing to understand what on this website is under what license/what I can do with it.

Under components are some great looking components with copy-pasteable code. Can I just copy-paste that into a website? If I do then do I need to copy in an MIT license attribution too into that source code where I use it? If I can copy-paste from there without issue then what would I be paying for if I purchased "Tailwind CSS code"? Is it like Tailwind UI where these components are available for free but paying unlocks loads more?

The components are open source and you can use them any way you see fit under the MIT license terms.

The pro version includes fully coded pages and layouts (ie. dashboard layout, landing pages, e-commerce pages) that can accelerate your development even more. We also work based on a Figma file that is based exclusively on the default Tailwind utility classes and you can get that too in the pro version (although there is also a free one posted on the Figma community with the base components).

I think we should create a page comparing licenses and making it clearer.

Do the pro version allow re-use in templates?

You pretty much copy pasted the Tailwind UI license word for word and replaced a few Tailwind UI-specific words with yours.

Components => download files

Tailwind UI components => FlowBite elements

Tailwind Labs Inc. => Crafty Dwarf LLC

Tailwind UI License: https://tailwindui.com/license

Flowbite License: https://flowbite.com/license/

It was a very simple question, should I ask a lawyer too?

Update: I read it and it's unclear, so that's a no then.
