Free to use, but have they made them available for you to charge for?? Given that you're college students, I'd imagine they allow you to use under the "education and non-commercial" use.

I am Not A Lawyer...but y'all need a lawyer asap.

Hi Valbaca, thanks for the comment, we are operating under the assumption that freely shared resources can be shared further, and we are only charging for the platform and the features we are providing like filtering, accessibility, ui and real time availability and updates, plus we will be adding more resources and features, that's what for which we are charging a fee.

But we will carefully think and act on this by consulting our lawyer. We really appreciate your comment. Thanks.

Disabuse yourself of this and contact your lawyer ASAP. There is a non-zero chance that the audience of this site shares members with employees and owners of the startups from whom you’ve repurposed these materials.

A cease-and-desist is among the milder responses you can expect, and in the event you are sued you will be compelled to provide a legal response which will mean hiring a litigator.

If you truly are students struggling to pay for your education this an extravagance that your alleged financial situation does not have the means to support.

Hi fleetwoodsnack,

Thanks for your advice, you are correct as that financial situation could be a huge problem for us.

We are getting in touch with our family legal advisor and based on their response we will take necessary action.

Again, thanks for your advice, appreciate it
