Is TypeCrt open source?

No. TypeCrt is proprietary software, copyright shadowline trx, all rights reserved. Using the site is free and requires no permission or account, but the source code is not licensed for copying, modification or redistribution.

Can I use TypeCrt in my classroom or office?

Yes, at no cost and without asking. Practising, running typing tests, sharing the link and teaching from it are all ordinary use. A licence is only needed to redistribute the software, embed it in another product, or resell access to it.

Can I write about TypeCrt or link to it?

Yes. Linking, quoting for review or commentary, and screenshotting the interface in an article are all fine and need no permission. The TypeCrt name and logo may be used to refer to the product, but not in a way that implies endorsement or that your project is TypeCrt.

Requires a licence

These are the reserved rights. They exist to stop the product being cloned or resold, not to get in the way of anyone using it.

Copying, modifying, merging or publishing the source code
Distributing, sublicensing or selling copies of the software
Embedding TypeCrt inside another product or service, whether or not you charge for it
Reselling access to it, or putting it behind your own paywall
Reverse-engineering, decompiling or disassembling it, beyond what applicable law permits regardless of this clause
Removing or altering proprietary notices, labels or marks

If you want one, ask. Commercial and embedding licences are granted case by case — a training provider wanting TypeCrt inside its own platform, for example. Write to [email protected] describing the use, and you will get a real answer rather than a form.

Name and marks

“TypeCrt” and the TypeCrt logo identify this product. You may use the name to refer to it — in a review, a comparison, a list of tools, a citation. You may not use it as the name of your own project, in a way that suggests endorsement or affiliation, or in a way that could lead someone to believe your thing is this thing.

Your data is not covered by this

This licence governs the software. It makes no claim over the text you type, the results you produce, or the themes you author. Your typing history and settings are stored in your own browser and are yours; what the site does transmit is enumerated on the privacy page.
